Canobie Lake discounts: 2017 Screeemfest
LAST CALL !!!Topsfield Fair Discounts are here!
Fair starts next Friday! Once my supply is gone, I won’t be getting more. I also can’t promise I’ll be here each day.
As of right now, I’m in all day today and Monday.
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!

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.
Feel free to share!!
Thanks,
Kerri
