Fete ideas - It's a cracker!!

by Amanda Hill

This is a great fete idea and particularly good for Winter Fetes or Christmas Fairs. A fantastic but simple idea to add to your list of fundraisers.

You buy a box of cheap crackers, these usually contain a hat, a small toy or some stickers and a joke. These are usually more child friendly and perfect for younger ones.

Open one end of some of the crackers gently and add a small note that says Winner.

People then buy and pull a cracker. Whatever happens they get to keep the contents of their cracker.

If theirs says Winner they get an extra prize that you prebuy .
I usually ratio this to 70/30, (30 being the winners).
