Wonder what our slow-season looks like?
…All things repair and maintenance. We have tens of thousands of pieces of inventory, and we go over them all with a fine toothed comb. This is a customer-owned tent we’re repairing for them.

EVENT HELP WANTED for Sat. 9/23/23

We have a client hosting an indoor event at a smaller venue in downtown Honesdale on Saturday, 9/23. She is looking for 2 people to mainly help prep the room, the food (catered trays) and beverages, and then help clean-up. I am unaware of exactly what hours (she is a senior citizen, so I’m guessing mid-day hours, not ending too late) or the compensation amount.

If you have some type of relevant experience (“or equivalent common sense,” she says) and are available and interested, please reach out to our client Nancy directly at [email protected] to discuss further. Thank you.

We’re in need of old towels again—anything from a beach towel down to a washcloth. We use them as rags, so they can be bleached/stained, torn and tattered, as long as they aren’t so far gone they won’t be usable.

We especially love bulk (summer camps, resorts, spas, etc.) and would be happy to come pick them up from you.

P.S. happy to pay a little something for your trouble. Thanks in advance!

Aw, shucks ☺️

With both of us being busy professionals with very little spare time, we hired Elika in early June to plan our wedding at our home in September. Elika really knocked it out of the park! We had weekly planning meetings for transparency. She anticipated many issues we had not considered. She transform...

Just a reminder; Gestures of inclusivity are so kind and appreciated

This weekend I went to a wedding at a friend's house. As we chatted with fellow guests, my partner and I stood in line at the bar.

"What can I get you?" the bartender smiled. "We have everything!"

"Great!" I cheered. I was thirsty. "Something non-alcoholic please."

The bartender's cheery demeanor immediately turned to one of perplexity. He wasn't expecting this, apparently. Befuddled by my request, he told me there was juice and water bottles in the cooler around the corner. So... the kids cooler.

Yea, I know the drill. I've been sober almost two years and I know all about the kids cooler. And yet I go into every social gathering, every wedding, every restaurant with almost a Pollyanna hope. Maybe the sober curious movement is making a ripple in the food and beverage industry. Maybe this time they'll have the non-alcoholic (NA) beer they said was out of stock last time. Maybe they've finally updated their menu to have NA options that are fun and flirty and celebratory.

But we still have a long ways to go, don't we? And at every social gathering, I still ask for my drink in a wine glass or a tumbler. And I ask for a lime wedge because, yes... it's more fun. And yes... it makes it look less like a kid's juice box and more like a grown up drink.

And yes, I don't drink but that doesn't mean my taste buds died. I still like festive drinks in fun glasses with pretty colors.

Yet more often then not, I wind up digging through the ice of a kids cooler, looking for something NA besides apple juice and Capri Sun.

You stand out if you're not drinking. You get questioned if you're not drinking ("are you pregnant?") You look and feel out of place, especially if you're new in your sobriety. Sometimes... you even get ridiculed or pressured to have one.

Being sober in a world that idolizes booze feels like a target on our back. A target I never asked to be there. A target I never expected.

Quitting drinking was hard. But navigating in this boozy culture as the only non-drinker at almost every event, networking party, every wedding? That's harder.

A little inclusivity would go a long way. Offering NA options at your party. Throwing out non-alcoholic suggestions when you offer to buy someone a drink? It's an easy, inclusive concept that might make a big difference for someone newly sober and struggling.

Time to change the narrative. Someone's reason for not drinking is none of our business. Let's offer more NA options and less sideways glances. It would go a long way.

IN SEARCH OF:
2-3 STAFF** from approx. 11am-6:30+/-pm on Saturday, 9/18. Pay is a flat rate of $125 for the day, paid in the form of a company check.

You will be chaperoning kids on inflatable bouncehouses at a public event about a half hour from Honesdale. Everyone will leave together from our warehouse in Honesdale around 11am, to be on site, set-up, and ready to start at Noon. Event ends at 6pm, there will be some light clean-up to insure the inflatables can’t be used unattended once we’ve left the site, and then you’ll travel together back to Honesdale.

**Prior experience with child supervision is mandatory. Child clearances are always preferred by Rent-E-Vent for these types of events, but are not required by this particular client. We will provide specific training to familiarize you with the PA Dep’t of Agriculture Bureau of Rides & Anusements Best Practices and familiarize you with each unit you’ll be attending.

Please notify us of your interest and submit brief resume detailing your qualifications via email to [email protected]. This position is excellent for teachers, day care staff, coaches, and even high school/college students who are interested in pursuing a child-centric field. It is also excellent for physically active parents/grandparents. Those that do it best couple their fun personality with a great sense of responsibility and have the ability to make sure safety rules are being followed at all times.

(If you’re not available this particular day, but are interested in working these types of events in the future, please let us know you’d like to be included on our Staffing Opportunity lists.)
