	BOTTLE BONANZA: NEW FALLFEST GAME! Save all your various jars and bottles with lids, and wash them thoroughly. Get your creative juices flowing, and fill each bottle with small, inexpensive items such as: © Candy © Coins/bills © Trinkets/toys © Socks/scarves © Hand towels/wash cloths © School/art supplies © Holiday knickknacks © MN State lottery "scratches" © Jewelry/gewgaws © Perfumes/toiletries © Anything with "eye appeal" Kids love this game, and adults do, too! The game is played simply by picking a number from a container which is matched to one of the bottles. Everyone wins something everytime, and it only costs $1.00 to play. We are setting a goal of 500 donations of filled bottles with lids. If you have any questions, please call Mary Anne Bennek at (651) 639-1136. Thank you! CHILDREN'S GAMES are an important part of Fallfest, but we need $$$ contributions to purchase prizes; product donations for Ring-a-Pop & Bottle Blast; and workers for 2-hour shifts. Call Jeanne Breske, (651) 726-0300 or (651) 633-4270, or Mary Justin, (651) 636-8599, if you can help. Pick up your raffle tickets in The Plaza next weekend!
