Idea Fair
Cookies and Canvas
Description
Similar to the popular "wine and design" for adults, we paired cookies and painting for kids! This idea enhanced Club operations as we were able to draw in parents to the restaurants while their children enjoyed a new and exciting activity. This also helped bring in revenue for Children's Place, as well as the dining outlets.
Implementation
We advertised the event in Farmington's monthly newsletter and had promotional materials to hand out. Parents signed their children up and we had a max headcount of 20 children. When children arrived, they ate dinner and then painted on a canvas. After painting, they got to decorate cookies for dessert. Club members have loved the event and enjoyed something different.
