2004 Olympic Silver Medalist Ali Cox

Denair Academic Avenues had a special guest at their assembly on Friday, February 21, 2014. Turlock native, Ali Cox, was a silver medalist on the 8-member USA rowing team in the 2004 Olympic Games, in Athens, Greece.

She brought her enthusiastic attitude to talk with students about what it takes to be an Olympian, not just in sports, but throughout their lives. Cox told D2A students about four keys to high achievement; setting goals, working hard, being a good teammate, and focusing and preparing for the task at hand. Cox was an inspiration to all who attended.

Vendor Information

Cost: $24 and a small fun raffle donation of $5 value (discount if prepaid at least two weeks prior to event date) All independent consultants, such as Mary K., Scentsy, etc., that sign up to hold a spot must prepay in that time, or spots will be released at the two week mark due to the fact that they only allow one representative per specific company.  All arts and crafters may either take advantage of the discount to prepay or pay the day of the event.

Space: You will have a space that is as big as your pop up, up to 12’x12′. Some spots are deep and you may utilize this extra room. If you would like a double space, please make arrangements with Mel DeSouza prior to set up so that she can accommodate this request, for an additional fee.

Set up will begin at 8:00 am and the show begins at 10:00 am. Tear down will be after 3pm. You may stay later if you wish, but please make arrangements if you will need to leave early as you will be assigned an outter spot so as to not disturb the show or neighboring vendors.  Non profit, Community Service, or Animal Adoption, Rescue or Awareness booths are still free! Spread the word!
