This highly acclaimed craft fair & plant sales features over 100 juried crafters and plants of all types.  Band parents and students work together setting up on Friday, manning the bakery booths, selling raffle tickets, working the concession stands, and cleaning up on Sunday evening.  This event uses both West gyms as well as the cafeteria.  This event attracts thousands of visitors and is the largest single fund raiser for the band each year.  This year’s event will be in the spring.  All students and parents are expected to participate. For the last 26 years, The Parkway West Band Boosters have sponsored “The Arts and Craft Fair” as a way to raise funds for the Marching Band. This has traditionally been the biggest fund raiser each year for the band. If you are a prospective vendor click here for the information sheet and application. More info will be coming for band parents and students so everyone will know how they can help make this a successful event. Participation in the Fest is mandatory for our band family. Also, there will be a site set up for the public to look up information about the Fest. Thanks for your interest in the new event, as we will need everyone’s cooperation to make it work.
