Idea Fair
Fallapalooza!
How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?
This year we hosted a brand new hybrid event combining 3 very popular fall events: Congo Kids Halloween, Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat ALL rolled into one spectacular event, Fallapalooza! From 12 noon to 3 PM on a brisk but sunny Saturday afternoon in October, over 600 Members were in attendance. Admission included the entire festival (complete with rides, inflatables, games, entertainers, festival snacks), trick AND trunk-or-treating (with our car show attendees and around the club property).
How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?
We were able to welcome a demographic of over 3 generations of our members to the Club for an action-packed afternoon celebrating the season. We had members dressed in costume and so happy to be engaged in different components of the afternoon. Several departments internally collaborated to successfully execute the many moving parts around the entire club property! The team was also excited to create the hybrid instead of having 3 large events all consecutively on the calendar.
