The Bible of Festival Planning:

The complete methodology of planning and hosting of your church, civic organization's summer festivals. 
                            
Non-fiction ("How-to-book")

Plan an event for your Church, School, Charitable or Civic Organization. To some, especially those just starting out, it is a daunting task. Dan and Pat Moriarty have planned and run Children’s festivals for their church in Alexandria Virginia for many years and, through this “how-to” book they are able to pass on to you their knowledge. With careful planning and highlighted “mistakes to avoid” you too can earn money for your organization while bringing joy to fellow parishioners, congregations, and school children, and to enhance your churches presence in your neighborhood.


$49.95

To be sure, an event such as a festival is not an easy task, but the thousands of successful ones each year show that it can be done in an organized manner.

Yes, and to keep the fire stoking, there are 10 games you can build easily; charts of how to set everything up (of the grounds), organization charts; reports’ examples to keep the Reverend, Rabbi, or Pastor happy and engaged. Who knows even your bishop might attend and play his favorite game: Beat the Bishop, or Soak the Pastor? Hmmm.

Dan and Pat carry you through all of the pre and post-planning stages:

How many days shall we run it for?
What will my theme be? A children’s festival; an international one—Cultural or all three?
Brainstorming techniques
How to recruit needed skills
Tips on great sources for festival games, and advertising
How not to blind-side your pastor (ask Fr. Festive)
Setting target dates and avoiding conflicts needlessly
Who's running the show?
Really? Then let them set up committees
Primary Committees (overarching the Publicity, Finances and Safety)
Operating Committees (those who “get things done.”
Detailed description and duties of all committees
How about a raffle? Or a cake walk? Or a silent auction? Hey—a dance? Or all of these?
How about children of special needs?
Software assistance
What about crafts? Which games shall we select?
How do we keep the cost down? And—goodness, what if it rains?
Whether Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish this book’s suggestions are applicable to all. And you Civic organizations can benefit, too: the K of C, the business Rotary and or Kiwanis.
The book promises fun for all, volunteers, associates, dancers, children, and parents of children.
