Well I will be having an Open House at my Dealership this coming Sat. http://www.jetsport.net/

We will be having sandwich's and drinks, Raffles and free giveaways(hats and keychains etc..) a few tents set up for Displays of Atv's And Motorcycles. Im working on getting a local radio Station to come by, and we will be having some Product Demonstrations (climbing obstacle for Atv's)

Im trying to think of a way to make it a little more family oriented though..We dont have to much property space, so that is somewhat of an issue..

Any ideas on what would keep the kids entertained while their parents browsed??


Help!

 

Put a TV with cartoons on in a corner somewhere, lol.

 

You could set up some basic carnival games. Knock down bottles, ring toss etc.

 

power wheels.

Seriously though, this being Halloween time, get a bunch of sharpies and the really small pumpkins (like $1 each), let them make their own jack-o-lanterns. Hell, hire a face-painter/balloon artist to keep 'em occupied too.

 

Some good ideas so far thanks guys..


Im really liking this one...so simple, yet so clever

 

Hook up some Wii's and rent some games.

 

I gotta share a face-paint story. About two years ago, my Dad and I make a run to the beer store (10am, btw...had big plans that day). We get there, it's customer appreciation day, free samples from different breweries in the parking lot, pit beef, face painting, the works. So we spend about 1 1/2 hours there, have about 8 "samples" each, stuff ourselves with free food...just before we leave someone hands us a face-painting ticket. So we look at each other with huge ****-eating grins, toddle on over to the painter. 10 minutes later, we're painted up like a couple of mimes. Stagger home to my house, walk inside about half-hammered and grinning like idiots (mind you, it's not even noon at this time), look at my wife and mother...and they're just aghast at what they see. We look at each other, look at them, and in stereo drop the line "What's wrong? Do I have something on my face?" then proceed to collapse against each other in gales of drunken-*** laughter. Needless to say, the two women were nowhere near as entertained as we were, considering we were supposed to be going out in an hour. Ahhh, that was a good day.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

 

Salami, ham, provolone with roasted red peppers marinated in a garlic anchovy vinegarette on a nice italial sub roll would be perfect.

I also would like to see a veal parm sub or something that involves frying.

thanks.

 

if you plan on thier being kids there , would also have some hotdogs too. Kids love em and they are cheap and easy to make.

The thing you should remember since you dont have a ton of room is: you want them to have fun, see what you have to offer and keep the kids busy for a halfhour or so. Then you want them to leave and for others to come since your space is limited. You want to get as many people in and out as you can. I would concentrate on things for the kids that dont take very long, just something to ocupy them for a short peroid of time.
