Local Food Diner Tool Kit
|
Organizing an event featuring locally
grown food can be a very rewarding experience! PASA wants to
help you save time and energy. It is important not to
underestimate the value of good advertising to get folks to
your event. Equally important is having good educational
materials and a unique memento that folks can take away from
the event. That’s why we’ve created these five helpful
tools. To save time and frustration, just click and print!

and place of your event. Also features a fun Food Quiz to get
your audience thinking!

Same as Local Food Lunch Table Tent
Announcement except it says ‘Dinner!’

Be sure you have permission to place table tents around
campus. Dining services may require you reserve table tent
space weeks in advance. Other locations, like libraries and
student unions, may require you get table tents stamped for
approval before placing. |

Simply
print one copy and fill in missing information by hand
(neatly!). We recommend you add your organization or
event name in the white space on the center panel. You’ll want to
make sure you get any stamps needed for approved posting from
school/town authorities on your master copy. Then make
copies on colorful paper as needed, fold along dotted lines,
and staple or tape loose edges together to make a
self-standing three sided table tent. |

Place this poster around campus to

widely.

Use this tri-fold on the day of your
event. Each panel contains interesting facts and helpful tips
on how consumers can contribute to a healthy food system.

Simply
print one copy and add any additional information you’d like
(i.e. your organization or event name). Then make copies
as needed, fold along dotted lines, and staple or tape loose
edges together to make a self-standing three sided table tent.

This is an excellent give-away item for guests
attending your local food event. If you want to use it as an
incentive, one idea is to give a “free cookbook” to the first
100 diners. Alternatively, you might ask diners to fill out an
exit survey to receive a complimentary cookbook. Or just be
generous and make copies for everyone! |
|
Print the entire document. Please note the blank half pages;
you may wish to use this space to add your organization or
event name, or recognize farmers, donors or sponsor of your
event. Once you have added your information to the document,
you will need to stack the pages from top to bottom in the
following order (to halves per page): cover sheet and back
page, pages 2 and blank, pages blank and 3, pages 4 and blank,
pages 24 and 5, pages 6 and 23, pages 22 and 7, pages 8 and
21, pages 20 and 9, pages 10 and 19, pages 18 and 11, pages 12
and 17, pages 16 and 13, pages 14 and 15. Print one
double-sided copy of these pages in this order.
Check your first set: if you fold the pages in half, you
should have a cookbook. Congratulations! Make the
remaining copies. |
