Things to consider when choosing a venue
|
Make flyers and post them at your local farm stores, hardware stores, the library, and any other place you can think of. Make a Facebook event, so that you can invite friends and family (and they can invite friends and family, and so on). Be sure to contact me as well so that I can post your swap event here on this website. If you are set up as a private event like we are, then consider posting the date and the city but not more specific information- instead direct people to your Facebook Group or website so they can become a member. If you are set up as a public event, then keep your event posted publicly and ask friends and family to share it. Post it in relative and local Facebook Groups such as homesteading groups, farming groups, gardening groups, livestock and species-specific groups, etc.
