Downtown Art Festival Fundraiser in Full Swing


A reminder that the Hire-a-Hurricane fundraiser is under full swing.  This looks to be a fabulous fundraiser that may become a tradition for years to come. It's easy money. You don't have to sell anything. Every penny earned goes straight into your fairshare pocket!!! 

6 artists for a total of 22 slots have already signed up, with quite a few other artists expressing interest.  There also seems to be a definite need for some volunteers to be "on call" for set up the morning of the festival on Nov. 14 around 6am.

We still need at least 16 slots filled, each worth $22.50 toward fairshare.  In most cases, students can sign up for both a Saturday morning setup (must be there by 6am) and a Sunday evening breakdown (be there by 5pm) for a total of $45 toward fairshare. A parent/student team can earn $90.00 in one weekend!  You and your student can show up at 6:00 a.m., spend a couple of hours setting up, go to breakfast, and come back to browse the art show!!!

To sign up, click on the online version here:

Slots will be filled on a first come first serve basis, but by signing up you are committing to helping an artist in need, so please be there and please be on time. This is our first season on this fundraiser. Our reputation, and future opportunity to continue this exclusive GHS Band fundraiser, hinges on how well we keep our promise to these artists at this fundraiser.
