LAST CALL! LAST CALL !!!Topsfield Fair Discounts are here!

 

 

 

 

Last call! Im in and out today.  Catch me ASAP.

Im in all day tomorrow, but once they are gone, Im done.   

Please don’t ask me to hold them, just see me as soon as you can. 

 

 

 

2017 dates are September 29th to October 9th

It's that time again!  I again have discounted tickets for the Fair.

The prices are $8 for admission and 10 RIDES for $24. (1 ticket =1 ride)

Regular admission is $11 weekday and $15 weekend so savings of up to $7!

(Children under 8 with an adult are FREE)

I’m also charging a $1 per order fee.  If you go to the fair or most other places for pre-sale they charge 1$ per ticket. (they are $9 each other places- so not charging this per ticket just once per order! )

Every year I end up being short for a myrid of reasons. Math, someone getting extra tickets, someone stating I didn’t give them the right amount etc. So this year I will use that money to cover anything like that. If there is money left over I will use it for some good at DCF. It’s not my goal to make money, but it’s a lot of work…. To lose money J

IMPORTANT: Deadline for tickets is September 26th. It's very difficult for me to run back and forth for last minute tickets. I am happy to take checks made payable to the  TOPSFIELD FAIR.  These checks won’t be cashed (or even brought to fair) until after Sept 28th, so there is no reason to wait until the last minute!  

Kailey MacArthur has them in Lynn. J

Resources

 

 

The link below is  “The Ultimate Car Seat Guide” regarding what car seat you should use for a child based on age/weight.

As you will see, when you enter the child’s DOB and weight into the search engine, it will tell you the correct type of car seat to use as well as show you how to install this. This link also offers “basic tips” if you click on that square.

 

In addition, this link provides videos  showing you how to properly install the car seat specific to the type you are supposed to use.

Free backpacks at Verizon this weekend!

 

Hi everyone,

 

Here is a resource that was shared with me this morning….

 

There is a free backpack event at select Verizon (TCC) stores this weekend. The one in our area is located in Swampscott at 1016 Paradise Road (781-581-3800) and I called them to verify that they are participating.

 

All people have to do is show up with the child present to get a free backpack with school supplies.   It is running Sunday 7/23 from 1p-4p.  The link below does give some information.
