Sustainable Oshkosh plans Plinko outreach, prizes and topic cards for Aug. 22 farmers market booth
Summary
Board members planned the Aug. 22 farmers market outreach booth using a Plinko game with 4–5 topic categories, index cards listing resources for each topic, age‑appropriate questions and small prizes; volunteers and logistics were assigned.
The Sustainable Oshkosh booth at the Aug. 22 farmers market will use a Plinko game as an engagement tool, committee members agreed, pairing each Plinko outcome with an index card of a topic and local resources. Chair (S1) and members (S3, S7, S6) discussed tailoring questions by age, keeping a binder of prompts, and offering small prizes to incentivize participation while ensuring the activity also directs people to concrete resources like the Oshkosh tool library and repair cafes.
"I'm just imagining handwritten index cards with the topics. Keep it simple. Keep it sustainable," Committee member (S7) said while describing a plan to have a pool of topical cards (water and natural resources, sustainable homes and yards, transportation, waste reduction) and to include a short resource list on the card for attendees to photograph. The board also discussed volunteer signups, who would pick up materials, alternate dates, and whether to run a small planning workshop before Aug. 22 to finalize questions and prizes.
