AUTUMN EVENTS - FIREWORKS - HALLOWEEN
STEP1. PLANNING
Event ideas Part of the event planning process is to decide the theme of your autumn
event, whether its going to be a harvest festival aimed at families, a Halloween
party for kids or a bonfire and firework display for all. All are great fun and
can be great fund raisers if organised properly, but if your event is identical
and predictable year after year you run the risk of the event becoming stale, it
stops attracting new visitors and consequently your funds raised or profits
reduce.
So is there anything that can be done to liven
your event up a little bit to attract more than just the committee members and
family friends? Most events held between September and the end of November are
well known by just about everyone, harvest festivals, Halloween and bonfire
night are all part of the annual calendar of what's on. The secret is to have a
different theme to your event each year, different things going on that will
make people look forward to the event particularly if it involves in advance
preparations and public participation.
Themes for harvest festivals could include
dressing up as your favourite vegetable or fruit, great for kids at school and
could help encourage healthy eating. Other ideas could include best fruit
baskets or harvest crop fancy hats, the strangest looking fruit or vegetable
competition, a crazy fruit and vegetable disco or how about a medieval harvest
banquet for adults with hog roast, bar, fire eaters, jesters or a live band.
