    There will be a small seller fee to cover the cost the rec center has to charge for the event, somewhere between $3 and $5. Please email if you wish to sell. There may be a limit on sellers due to space considerations. Sales of curricula, books, and any family oriented items are welcome. FSEA is sponsoring this event, and will have an information booth available - anyone interested in setting up a club like ours and finding out how FSEA supports this can talk to an individual from the organization. Additionally, weather permitting, we intend to hold a soda bottle rocket launch competition and egg drop competition if I can get the details worked out.
