Karen’s Training Log
Training log for Avon Walk for Breast Cancer 2008
Follow along as I train for the Avon Walk 2008 in New York. I will be updating this information periodically, so check back to see my progress.
Summit Street Fair
It was another cold, overcast day for the Summit Street Fair. Non-profits were given 1/2 spaces and I was to share a space with the Summit Playhouse. Fortunately, a number of vendors were no-shows, so I was able to move to an empty space. Despite the less than stellar weather, the crowd turnout was pretty good. Because of the chilly temperature, wool hats were in demand. I sold 2 of the hats my mom knit and one of mine.
I put 3 copies of Darryl’s book on the table with a sign. A woman purchased a copy. This makes it the first book sold ! During the afternoon, a woman walked by with 2 dogs, one of them a beautiful Keeshond who looked just like Scruffy.
The day was very successful, with the total raised $200. My total for the walk thus far is $761. Only $1,039 to go to make the $1,800 walk commitment.
First craft fair of the season
On Sunday April 13, I will be selling earrings, bracelets and knit hats at the Millburn, NJ craft fair. Proceeds will go towards my Avon walk in October.
The next scheduled fairs are Sunday April 27 in Summit, NJ and Saturday June 14 at Fishawack Festival in Chatham, NJ.
