Similar to our Waldorf school in Minneapolis, our school here holds a holiday basar to raise funds for the school. It is a two-day affair, where you can purchase everything from wreaths, mistletoe, candles, clothing, old records, books, stamps, cheese, fresh pasta, bread, other farm goods, and a multitude of other things. There are a number of performances in the theatre over the course of the two days including classical ensembles, comedy, drama, circus, vocal and others. And of course, there are several options for food such as roasted chestnuts (very popular here), crepes, deep-fried apple rings, pizza, cotton candy, baked goods and two meal options at the cafeteria.
Every adult member of the school community is expected to donate at least 7 hours of their time to the basar. And each class, starting in the 3rd grade, creates something to sell. Isabella's class sold the cheese that they made last spring, bringing in well over 1,000 francs. I spent several days making advent wreaths with other members in the community, and both Todd and I worked several shifts at the crepe/apple-ring stand.
