DRESS ATTIRE

The dress is casual! Bring options for both cool and warm. Layers are optimal due to lack of control over venue temperatures. Although not required: For Friday, we are encouraging costume day to go along with our "Down on the Farm" theme. For Saturday, we are encouraging participants to wear their SFAC 2023 T-Shirts.

 

VENDORS

Several vendors will be onsite throughout the event for your convenience providing supplies for your projects. Make sure you check with the vendors at the beginning of the crop about payment methods, so you can be prepared.  Our vendors also provide us with classes and free make & takes. Don’t miss out on the cool projects at each of their booths.

 

CLASSES  Our vendors offer amazing classes each year! Most of these classes do require a small fee. The vendors will contact participants as classes are ready for registration. All class registrations/payments will be handled by the teacher.

​

We will also have classes provided by our SFAC volunteers that will be free to the participants. Registration for the free classes will open by the beginning of February 2023. We encourage you to sign up ahead of time for any classes you are interested in. Seating is limited and is based on a first come first serve basis. If any seats are still available the day of the event, then signups will be offered at the event. Please do not rely on this option if you really want to take a certain class. Classes can fill fast. Donations are always accepted at these classes.

​

We will have all auction items out on display all day Saturday, April 29 from 10am - 2pm.  If you would like to donate something to the silent auction, please contact us at scrapping4acure@gmail.com. We prefer to receive all silent auction donations by April 15, but we will take items at check-in during the event.

• CONTESTS: We will be having a few contests throughout the event. These will include: Table Décor Contest, Costume Contest, & a Thank You Card Contest.  

  • Table Décor: Participants will have Thursday evening and Friday morning to decorate their table for our annual table décor contest. Friday afternoon we will judge the tables. Table décor needs to incorporate: Scrapping for a Cure, Cystic Fibrosis, and/or "Down on the Farm" Theme. Keep in mind that our cropping tables are 6’ rectangles. 

  • Costume Contest will be Friday evening, with judging held shortly after dinner. Costumes can be as simple or elaborate as you desire. Start planning your "Down on the Farm" theme now!

  • Thank You Cards can be made throughout the event (not beforehand), and judging will be held Saturday mid-day. Specific requirements for the cards will be given upon registration. The only requirement for the submitted cards is that they must fit inside a 5x7 envelope. Participants can submit up to two different cards for the contest. After judging, the Thank You cards can be donated to SFAC and will be used to mail out to our sponsors and donors thanking them for their help with our event.

• MAKE AND TAKES/CLASSES:  Participants will have the opportunity to participate in free make-n-takes provided by our vendors.  Scrapping for a Cure volunteers will also provide free make-n-takes and will also offer a free mini class. Vendors will host classes throughout the event for a small fee, and all class sign ups will be done through the instructor. Project examples and sign ups for these events/projects will be available closer to the event.
