Anyone interested in joining me at the Ekka?

Hey guys, if anyone is interested in joining me at the Ekka 2012 please msg me.

Whoaaa whats the costs on that?

I will let you know, she is calling me back today.

I am, but would like more details?

Doesn't The Face Paint company normally do it?

When is it?

August and yes.. face paint comp[any and wowee creations.. the cost would be from $1800-3000 for 9 days for the site!!

so $200-$333 a day just to break even, achievable with enough people. Someone told me they saw face painting there from $15 a face!

Yeah both of those companys charge around $250-300 for 2 hrs at a party.
So there prices would be high at the ekka..

I will ask on Facebook, if anyone has been to the ekka and had face painting how much it was..

Why is it such a large difference between the $1800 and $3000 for the week?

I had a friend last year who paid $10 and $12 for her kids. I think the cheapest was $8? But they were busy apparently.

Yes I am def interested

My Guess would be location within the grounds and how large a space wanted.

Kylie how many painters are you aiming to get?

I assume we would all be splitting the booth fee- which is fair

I'm pretty sure you have to hire their tents too....not sure if that is included in the costs.

err.. ummmm.....What's the Ekka?

need 3 or 4 painters.. cost is deterimined by where you are at the show and size. you can pay for for a structure or byo ur gazbo etc. n with you application you must provide photos of your set up.

The Ekka is kind of like the royal easter show in NSW. it goes for 10 days and hundreds of thousands of people visit and spend more money than its worth (and thats just to get in the gates!)
The Ekka would definitely be a profitable exercise.

When you get more details Kylie let us know. I'm interested, i could also pitch in a tent as well.

So a lady I know sold pet collars, outfits etc last year at the ekka. They hired a tent because they are the heavy duty professional ones, not the little market cheapy ones (great for a day or 2), but would still work.

At night they have security to keep their eyes on things, but she said theft is very common. Being fp tho, I would take my things home at night and just leave tables and chairs etc.

I guess it wouldn't matter a great deal about position: people find face paint wherever they are and will see people walking around with it and ask.

I am guessing it could be run like shifts, a twelve hour day is huge (and I love the woodchopping and CWA cake displays ) so we can have a couple of hours off here and there?

But I think if we are serious, maybe we could make a closed FB event to discuss all of the details?

But yeppers, I am very keen, I wanted to do it last year, but didn't have the money or the contacts to help me out

Sounds good to me, I will organise it tomorrow, as I have to head off to work soon. We have to have the application in by the end of the month.

Add me to the group too when you create it Kylie :-)

Will do Jazz... exciting wohoo girl!!

Any anyone set up the grp or event.. I cant seem to figure it out!!

I tried a group and I need to add people for it to be a group but because I don't have you guys on my friends list I can't add you. can you add me on FB and I have made an event invite but I think we should make a group.

Ha! does that make sense?

Hi there, I was just wondering if you went ahead with the ekka? If you did I hope it went well. My parents went this year and I'd like to go next year- please post if you are going to run a booth there next year as I'd love to stop by and say hi - if you had a sec between faces that is - I saw on the news they had great crowds this year.
