THE BIG BIG BAAZAR | Saturday 24th April at 10.30am on RTÉ Two|
The Den’s brand new series The Big Big Bazaar visits Jobstown in Tallaght this week. The series sees entrepreneurial children around the country unearth hidden treasures and trash to raise money for local causes by organising a massive bazaar.
Presented by comedian Reuben, this Saturday’s two teams of 9-12 year olds from Tallaght compete to see who can make the most money for their cause. Tara, Lewis, Kyra, Chelsea and Karl will be raising money for their community spirit project, The Pride of Jobstown Awards while Jack, Chloe, Megan, Naomi and Jenni will be raising funds for a garden in their school – Saint Thomas Senior National School in Tallaght.
To organise the bazaar they must gather stuff to sell, come up with novel money-making games and challenges, select things to auction, publicise the event and get the public to turn up with money in their pockets. Each bazaar ends with an auction of each team’s top three items. Antiques expert Roxane Moorhead is on hand to give the teams valuations and selling tips.
