Other activities and tables to take in:
Crowd participation:
o Nominate and vote for your favorite West Seattle Third Places
o “A Club I’d Love to See in West Seattle is…” Write down and vote for clubs that should be formed in West Seattle. If there is enough support and interest, maybe someone will start one! Also allows participants to share information if a club opportunity does actually already exist and isn’t widely known about.

o Door Prize Raffle for Jamboree Attendees—everyone who attends will be issued a door prize raffle ticket that needs to be validated in order to be entered in the raffle. Attendees validate their ticket by going around to booths that interest them and interacting with participating groups. You need 5 stamps to validate your ticket. There will be a drawing every hour, on-the-hour and you must be present to win. Winners will get their pick of available standard raffle prizes. All non-winning tickets for that hour will be placed in the Grand Prize Drawing. Those winners do not need to be present to win. That drawing will take place after the event concludes and the prizes will be distributed to the winners after the fact.
o Light snacks for attendees
o Lunch options provided for tabling partners and event volunteers
