Discussion on Having Fair this Year

Villagers discussed concerns relating to having, cancelling, or postponing the fair. Most seemed resigned to the likelihood Fair will not happen in July

Villagers expressed hopes of manifesting virtually in support of community in ways that are conscientious and supportive and learning as much as we can from the experience. Fair has limited experience and capacity for this and is looking for volunteers and collaboration. How to make a virtual fair compelling? Let’s use OCF’s Facebook audience to amplify message and community.

Brainstorm ideas for virtual village / Fair:

Online DJ Party

Stream and come together

Crystalyn OCF: reach out to OCF for help – has access to fair footage

Adrian can help toomanyfun@gmail.com

Musicians get paid, help drive viewers
Do it Fair Wide

Virtual tip jars, Sales portals

Interactive fair map, like a video game

Art display

Discussion interaction, W&D

Live stream w/ MC virtual fair, schedule

Fair wide sliding scale

Opening circle

Entertaining people in front of cameras

Raise money

Villagers expressed hopes of supporting community in absence of fair through online communications and action. Virtual content made for an online Fair could remain on our site all year, helping inform public about our missions.

Direct giving between haves and have-nots.

This had so many people laughing…the software could not listen to more than 2 or 3 people at a time, so the sound was crazy! It was good to laugh together.
