Two places having events on the same day. We went to both.

The town libray had an event. So I went to buy som books and hot dogs with sauce. The silent auction was not set up yet, so I saved some money there. The square dance club had their pan cake breakfast on the same day. So we ate pancakes, too. Last year they were on different days. But with budget cuts, there are more and more events to help causes that need to continue.Like the library used to be fully funded, but now it isn't. The part time (15 hours a week) library position is funded, but the buying of books is not. So this is the 3rd year they've had to raise money to buy books. The square dancers have had their fundraiser so they can hire square dance callers and keep their building up for over 30 years. This is the first, but it won't be the last double fundraiser day. So what fundraisers have there been where you live? Are there starting to be two in one day or more? Do you have to choose one or can you do more than one? Are some new ones starting where you are? Are they due to budget cuts or people being out of work or both? I was speaking to someone and both the food pantries and the pet shelters are doubling their events this year.
