Creative Planning

What does it take to get started?

–  Research

–  What has your District done in the past?

–  What special events might be coming up?

–  Are there any historical events that can be modeled?

–  What kind of facilities are available?

–  How much time is there to plan?

–  Who can be a part of the planning?
