First PPF event at the end of the month Empty First PPF event at the end of the month

Post by WickedBA Thu Dec 02, 2010 8:22 pm

So after a bit of restaurant gigs and a birthday here and there I am finally ready for this.....I think. So the event is a winter fest at the end of this month. It gets very very snowy here and they have all kinds of games, events, free hot cocoa and a free movie. I am hoping it will be a decent turn out. My question: what do I need? I don't own a canopy but I work closely with the police dept ( i am PT at the city run animal shelter) and they will lend me their second one for the day no problem. i will also be bringing my paint and such of course but I have never done any thing this bug. Some night I will do 25-30 kids at Applebees but thats about it. Please help! My other question is: What do I charge for what? With this area and I was probably gonna do 3,5,and maybe some 7's. I know the super simple designs and small cheek art will be the cheapest but how do you figure out what to charge for what face?

Just curious? Are you face painting outdoors in the snow? Won't your water freeze?

For my booth I have:
a board w/ 15-20 easy quick designs
My fatmax to work from
My directors chair
a chair to sit on when I'm not painting
beverages to drink(hot coco if it's cold)
A cooler w/ healthy snacks that are quick grab items
Money belt & lots of $1's
My cards/advertisement
Notebook for taking future contacts info down
Appointment book
Water bucket & dump bucket
Christmas lights or a lantern if you're painting after dark
anything you can possibly use to keep warm if you're outside in the cold(brrr from this FL girl!)
