Mule Camp Booth a Success
In October of last year, Gainesville Ballet Company once again continued a long-standing tradition with a successful booth at Mule Camp on the square in Downtown Gainesville. Mule Camp is sponsored by the Gainesville Jaycees. With the help of many volunteers – both dancers and parents – it was a fun and successful fundraiser for the company.
The company raises money in several ways during Mule Camp, by selling hairdos with themes advertising the upcoming season’s performances and used dance costumes. The hairdos are very popular with little girls who dream of becoming ballerinas. Since Mule Camp takes place in early October, the dance costumes offer a great opportunity for parents to get the perfect Halloween costume for their children. The company also sells merchandise such as Gainesville Ballet Company mugs, cookbooks, and posters.
Look for the GBC booth at the next Mule Camp in October of 2008. |
