SVEF at the Simi Valley Street Fair

May 10, 2009

An estimated 18,000 people attended the Simi Valley Street Fair yesterday. Located in the middle of the action was the Simi Valley Education Foundation's booth.

We attracted many visitors with our free pencils and pins that we were handing out to people passing by. The E-Waste Event poster also drew a lot of attention and interest. Many people commented about their old computers and printers stacking up in their garages and how they would be at the E-Waste Event next Saturday to dispose of them. We were joined in our booth by Zumega Music who were promoting their upcoming "Tropical Night Under The Stars" event at Lost Canyon Golf Club. They also drew quite a bit of attention and positive comments. In the afternoon, a steel drum player with Zumega Music took the entertainment stage at the Street Fair and gave the crowd a sample of what we would see at their "Tropical Night" event.

As the Street Fair came to a close, I felt that we had introduced ourselves to and educated a new part of the community as to what the Simi Valley Education Foundation is all about. I believe that the Street Fair was an absolute success and I look forward to being involved with it again next year. Thank you to those of you who came out and helped with the booth and those who stopped by to show your support.
