As before – still bucking economic trends! - admission is just a $10 donation per family, $8 prepaid via Network for Good (bring your receipt as your ticket). And, in the continuing spirit of a Green LIFE Fest, carpool discounts of $10 per (safe and legal) carload will be available the day of the event.

Nickelodean Suites Resorts in Orlando is offering LIFE Fest 2010 guests a special event rate:  Stay two nights at Nickelodean Suites, and get the third night free. Just $200 for a family-friendly weekend in a two bedroom KidSuite. Click here  to reserve your room by August 17.  Homeschool group membership card or homeschooling verification letter must be presented at check in. Rates are based upon availability like any other promotion and may be subject to stop sell.

As before, we’ll have a variety of great vendors – we’re aiming for more this year -  lots of free materials, great workshops, door prizes and raffles, and a fun and educational children’s area with art and animals, all adding up to a full and exciting day that will offer ample opportunities to meet other home educators from around the state and to learn how to make the most of your homeschooling adventure.

Vendor booths will cost $100 if reserved by June 30; $150 after that, through August 31,  and will be sold on a first-come, first-served, paid-in-full basis.  A sliding scale may be considered for very small, family based businesses.  A minimum 10% discount is provided to vendors supplying a door prize.

A bazaar space for family and small community group sales tables is $25. You can sell books, curricula, toys, clothes, and any other (reasonable) household goods at our LIFE Fest Bazaar.  We’ll also have a give-away table for anything you just want to, well – give away!

We’re happy to provide free exhibit space to youth groups and clubs, home school and educational support groups, community education groups like libraries, parks, nature centers, museums and associations providing free or very low cost learning opportunities. If you feel your group or service qualifies, and you’d like to join us to provide outreach and information to guests about your support and education programs, please write to us with the name of your group, the services you provide, and the costs of your program(s).

Guests at LIFE Fest will receive a printed program describing the day's agenda, workshops and round table discussions, and listing vendors. If you would like to advertise in the program, please contact us for a rate sheet. Costs range from $25 to $100.

Vendor , LIFE Fest Bazaar and Community Group booths must be reserved by August 31.  More information will be available at  Learning is for Everyone’s website shortly, but feel free to write and let us know if you’d like vending, community group, or support group space.

Also contact us if you’re interested in hosting a presentation or workshop.
