Here's how my event went:
The night before my event was Prom (believe me, that was tough) so I didn't get to arrive at my venue with very much time to prepare. That would definitely be the first thing I would fix if I could re-do my project- get to the venue super early. But although I was a bit rushed to set things up before volunteers started arriving, we managed to be ready for action in a reasonable amount of time.
The turnout of volunteers for the day was awesome! The weather was absolutely awful- a snowstorm rolled in about half an hour in, but my faithful volunteers still made the trek to help me sew baby blankets, and I will forever be indebted to them!
The local recreation center donated a large room for me to hold my event, and in that room, we set up 4 stations: cutting, pinning and sewing fabric and, of course, a snack station! Volunteers worked in any and all stations that they wanted. Just about everybody had a chance to sew their very own blanket, even the volunteers who hadn't sewn before. The fact that everyone at least tried to sew, even with no experience, is one of my biggest successes with this project. I was so happy that all of my volunteers could participate and even learn something along the way!
I really felt like the event went well! Everyone had something to do but we never felt rushed, the blankets came out great, and I think we all had a little fun, too.
