We have $302.53 seed money.

If no fees change until next year, we will need (aiming for a 2 days festival):

$ 600 for park rental ($ 300 for one day)

$ 300 insurance ($250 for one day

$ 219 port-a-pottie rental

$ Vendor fees ($10 per vendor) payable to the City of Norman

$ 480 security fees (if we want not to tear down booths overnight) (no expense if one day)

about $200 in advertising/fliers/programs

$25.00 Noise permit fee

A total of approximately $1,774 for two days or around $1194 for a 1 day festival.

Update: The Hogwarts Yule Ball has raised $276 of which $50 were used to pay the building rental.

We have now a total of $528.

06/20/2012

The park rental was paid )$300.00)

We have received a total of $50.00 in donations

Two vendors have paid their fees and sent the contract in - $55.00

The Spring Ball has brought $60.52 - after deducting expenses $145.48 from total cashed of $206

The Summer Ball has brought $12.84 - after deducting expenses $117.16 from total cashed of $130

The May workshop has brought $13.25 - after deducting expenses $10.75 from total cashed of $24.

We have now $396.14 in cash.

Still need to pay $250.00 for insurance, $219.31 port-a-potties, $50.00 for OK Tax commission fee, $25 noise variance permit, and at least $95 for programs, (plus $10 per each vendor) so a total of $639.31. New posts for the PPD banners need to be purchased as well, that is another $15.00. The cost of any advertising fliers doesn't even go in this calculation. So we need a minimum of $268.21 before August 1st for being able to cover the costs of organizing the festival.

07/02/2012

We had a $100 donation from Hiraban Zekra and a pledge for $50 from Ancient Dreams. The 1st of July workshop brought in $40. So we only need about $90-$100 before the end of July to be good to go! Yay!

7/12/2012

At this moment we had 4 more vendors with the fees paid. The insurance was paid ($250.00), so were the port-a-potties ($219.31) and the OK Tax Commission notarized request for forms for Special Events as well as the fee ($55.00 total) were mailed out.

We have $226.00 cash left. Of this $25.00 will go for the noise permit fee, $50. for a pay-per-click ad on facebook and the rest will be used to print programs. We have exactly what we needed!

7/18/2012

One more vendor fee and two group presentation fees, as well as a nice $50 donation from Angela Brown. We are going over what we need, so we will be able to do a nice fb ad!

7/24/2012

One more vendor fee. Today we are submitting the paperwork with the City of Norman, and paying $120 in vendor fees as well as $25 for the noise variance permit. We also started today the facebook ad campaign. We have enough money for 800 programs and $27 left, of which $15 will be used to buy new stakes for the PPD banner

8/3/2012

We have $237 leftover money. The money will be used to rent Abe Andrews park for March 23rd, 2013, for a Pagan Picnic and Egg-hunt. There will be no organizers for that one, just come and be merry.

9/3/2012

The festival has come and gone.

We have $237.58 left over money.

Part of these will be used to rent a park or a park pavilion for March 23rd, 2013 so people can gather and organize an egg-hunt if they so wish. The rest will be donated to the Second Chance Animal Sanctuary in Norman.
