The morning before midterm officially began, on the noticeboard of each and every house, there appeared a formal notice with a neat collection of forms attached to the bottom. The form itself said in large letters 'School Fair'.
Under the title there was more information.
Do you want to have a stall at the school fair? There are 12 stall openings for student efforts - at least three students must be associated with the stall, and no student can be associated with the running of more than one stall. Application forms are attached to the bottom of this notice, and must be filled in and returned to your Head of House by no later than the first week back after midterm.
Successful applicants will be notified within the following week, so as preparations that may be needed before the Fair itself (which, for new students and those who need reminding, is at the end of the school year) will have plenty of time to be completed. Staff decisions about which stalls will go ahead and be run are final and any unauthorised stalls will result in severe punishment.
The Fair is also a chance to win points for the house points competition. The stall voted most popular on the day by attendance will win twenty house points. Attendance will be measured by token earnings on the day. PLEASE NOTE: Any stall that is not in some way offering items or services in exchange for the Fair tokens will NOT be eligible for this prize.
Underneath the notice, the application forms were waiting for interested Students to claim them.
Ian had agreed to the request pleasantly enough, notching off the asked for favor as something to call on at a later time. One of his black notebooks were unearthed from his trunk and the page dedicated for Elly Erickson, fourth year Pecari and fellow soccer player, gained a new entry: requested a post put up in Aladren common room; reciprocate request at a later date. Once his notebook had been properly documented, he went back down the stairs from his dorm room to the Aladren common room.
Beneath the Headmaster's notice of the upcoming Fair, he neatly pinned the flyer Elly had created. Excessive capitalization, manic use of an assortment of colors- obviously, it had been made to grab one's attention. Once finished with his task, he walked away, leaving the poster to announce its proclamation to any curious Aladren.
CALLING ALL BRITS
I'm planning a heritage stall for the fair, with traditional food, music, dress and games from the British Isles! So if you're from England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or Eire, join in and help out!
A meeting will be held the first day back after midterm for anyone interested in running the stall with me. First years are especially welcome. See me, Elly Eriksson, for more details.
