Walmart Show and Sale Scheduling

To be as fair as possible when allowing requests for the Walmart Show and Sale space throughout the Prairielands Council, we will use Tentaroo sign up as we have done with Schnucks in the past. The new process allows for 1 person to schedule the times on the Walmart Spark Good site for non-profits.  Jared will be scheduling all the times. We will start scheduling these for the weekends of the month of September. If there is still interest in October, we will schedule those seperately with units.  We will have Fridays from 4PM to 8PM, Saturdays, and Sundays from 10AM to 6PM. Each Walmart has 2 doors, and the unit will be responsible for working both doors or they can split the time with another unit. 

The Weekends that we will be working with are:

August 29 and 30
September 4, 5, and 6
September 11, 12, and 13
September 18, 19, and 20
September 25, 26, and 27

If you unit wants weeknights in the month of September, please reach out to Jared separately to get those scheduled.
