After reaching out to a couple companies and finding their pricing too high for our budget, we decided to offer a Halloween makeup contest where our patrons can either work solo or form teams. We will provide makeup but they can also bring their own if wanted, and we will have a slide show going with photos of Halloween makeup ideas to help with their inspiration. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">As a prize for whoever wins the contest, we will put together a Halloween themed basket.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Good luck on your program!</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Also, as a side note, you might reach out to a neighborhood salon and see if they would be able to offer something similar - they may charge considerably less than other companies. Or, put out a request to patrons in your community to see if anyone has a secret skill you are unaware of.</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Aug 15, 2023 at 9:28 AM Cheyenne Smigiel via Michlib-l <<a href="mailto:michlib-l@mcls.org">michlib-l@mcls.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello,<br>
<br>
My colleague and I are aiming to put on a special effects makeup <br>
workshop for teens in high school, this October. We have reached out to <br>
one company already, but found their prices to be a bit out of our <br>
budget. If anyone has done something like this before in their library, <br>
we would appreciate recommendations for businesses who offer this type <br>
of class / workshop.<br>
<br>
Any other tips and suggestions are also welcome.<br>
<br>
Thank you!<br>
