Registration fee for program
by Sara Horn 19 Apr '23

19 Apr '23

Hello, My library has this idea for a program where individuals would register and pay a fee to compete in a eating contest. The fee would be split between helping cover the cost and as a cash prize for the winner of the contest. I am reaching out to all of you to see who may have done something similar at their library. Any tips, advice or struggles you encountered. Thank you, Sara Horn Adult Services/ Local History Librarian Charlotte Community Library 517-543-8859 226 S. Bostwick Charlotte, MI 49437
