As our events are FREE to the public and as low cost as possible to the vendors, that we are always in need of donations. Financial contributions can be made directly to us, or to someone else on our behalf. Raffle prizes are always a big hit and revenue generating for each specific event. What do we mean by that? Items that are donated to a specific event help fundraise for the same event each year.
Example: Donation of a gift certificate to Tractor Supply for the Fall Homesteaders and Preppers Bazaar (Fall H&P). Raffle ticket sales at Fall Homesteaders and Preppers Bazaar will go to the same event next year.

We like to have activities that are fitting for each of our events. As we are staffed 100% by volunteers, it is a challenge to have someone from our group coordinate and run an activity. Items we hope to have at each event is listed below. We also love to keep our volunteers happy and well fed! This represents $200 at a smaller event and up to $500 at Ren Faire of Bandera County.

"We run on donations and volunteers" is a common mantra of small nonprofits looking to make a difference. We are no different, especially when it comes to our events. What types of volunteers are we looking for?
* Those who are reliable is a start. The reason for this is we budget money at each event to pay for our volunteers to eat while there ($20 to use at participating food vendors).
​
* General gophers: These are the ones running errands, helping vendors find their spot, unload (if we have enough to do so), and help them safely navigate out to park their vehicle.
​
* First Aid Station and Mother's Den: They help guests find what they need, clean-up and sanitize after each guest leaves, and act as a a central point of contact for anyone with a medical emergency. They are the ones to decide, with the guests input, that EMS needs to be called. Most importantly, they insure that the EMS parking space is occupied by emergency services only. Being First Aid/CPR with Blood Borne Pathogens is a must at this feature.
** Those who are repeat volunteers might find themselves answering questions
about "modern medicine" through the ages as one of our mission statements has to
do with an educational aspect to features at all of our events. **
​
* Guest Services: They are the informational center on which vendors are where, where the entertainers are located, any activities, once vetted (repeat trustworthy volunteer or known very well by a staff member who can vouch for them) they can promote and collect for the Raffle Items.
​
* Guardian for the Tunnus de Requiem Memorial tent. They answer questions about this unique attraction. They insure each person has as much time as they needed to converse with someone who has passed away. Being highly empathetic is a must. Appropriate impeccable attire is always welcome. The typical guardian is someone who has served as a first responder, military, or frontline health care worker that understands the pain of losing someone and choose this feature to remember the fallen.
