(We had over 40 loaves of homemade wheat bread made, jam, honey butter, food storage recipes, 12 peach cobblers, and 11 gallons of vanilla ice cream--we had enough food--few!)
This past weekend my husband and I were in charge of a neighborhood Well-Fair to help those in our church group and neighborhood get excited about being prepared. It was a huge undertaking and I am so relieved it is over and went well. We hoped that 100 people would come and were ecstatic that over 350 came--yay!!! We had six classes that were taught about food storage, cooking, getting out of debt, putting together a household budget, emergency preparedness 101, and a class on CERT training. We also had 7-8 booths on ham radios, gardening, food storage, water storage, 72 hour kits, employment, self reliance and much more.
I figured we have already put together the information for our fair, and if any of you would like a copy of the outlines from our six classes, you can download them here:

A couple of the pages may not be pertinent to you, but you can just download the ones that seem interesting or helpful.
I put together my booth on the importance of planning your food storage around COMPLETE MEALS. Many times people begin getting their food storage and buy a little of this and a few of that. This is great and will be better than nothing, but it is important to have ALL of the components to a few basic meals so you can feed your family real meals in the situation you had to eat solely out of your storage.
Here is our updated download of GREAT food storage recipes that can be made with ONLY food storage items. These breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert (who can live without dessert?? Not me!) meals are a great place to start when choosing a few basic meals to base your food storage around.

That is awesome. People are really gearing up on their prepareness and your seminar was just what people needed to get excited about it. Congratulations on the huge success and keep up the good work. It is very helpful to those who aren't near by and can't attend those events.
What a great job! Thank you for all the information. You have great handouts. I have to do this for my ward in the fall and you always have the best ideas! Thank you!
AWESOME!! Thank you!
I am our Stake Preparedness Specialist and we are in the midst of planning a HUGE preparedness Fair on the day of our GRAND OPENING of our new Provident Living Center I set up in our Stake Center.
This fair we plan on having is open to the entire city and we hope for the numbers that you had show up to yours. It's in August. Just before kids go back to school.
Thanks for sharing your handouts. You rock!
You bless us with your hard work. Thank you for making the handouts available for download. They are helpful for those just starting out on their preparedness road and an inspiration those who are well on our way. We should each learn something new every day and share it with ten others at the first opportunity. Your blessings on us will be shared.
This is FANTASTIC!! Thanks for sharing this valuable info with us all. :)
Thanks so much for sharing your information. I am in the midst of planning a fair in our area. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your willingness to share!
These sound great! But I couldn't pull up the handouts- is there a trick to them?
The link will take you to a Google screen where you need to click on the blue download link to see the documents. Once you do that it will bring up several files that we handout out for our well-fair.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
Thanks!
I think that it is like a conference, I like the things food, I have been working in many special food for example white-chocolate cookies!22dd
