Each vendor in the kids’ zone needs to provide a FREE ac vity for kids. (coloring, mask making, play dough, bean bag toss etc…) The kids’ zone is held in the parking lot right in front of the street market. Those spaces may be run by commercial businesses to promote their business for example banks, insurance and even retail, you just need to offer an ac vity. By provid‐
ing a free ac vity for kids, you will not only enhance the community spirit and involve‐
ment of the Northwest Raspberry Fes val, but a ract more visitors to your booth. There is no easier way to get adults to your booth than by ge ng the a en on of the kids with them. The chamber has a list of ideas if you need help deciding on an ac vity. In order to par cipate in the kids zone you must be a current Lynden Chamber of Commerce member.
