Cash & credit cards are accepted the night of the event.  We encourage you to bring cash, as credit card transaction connectivity can be challenging and slow, which may result in a line. We will also be doing pre-sales via Givebacks. More information coming soon!

 

Is the Fall Festival friendly for younger children who aren’t in school yet?

Yes! There are many activities that younger kids can enjoy, specifically tailored to their needs. This includes the Fun House, balloon animals, glitter tattoos, a musical performance by the 6th grade strings class, and more.

 

Can I wear my Halloween costume?

Yes, of course!

 

How do I participate in the pumpkin carving contest?

At the beginning of the event, bring your carved pumpkin from home, and see the volunteer & tables in the main hallway (“Friendly Lane”).  Your pumpkin will be displayed & voted on. There will be prizes for the categories of Best Overall, Most Creative, & Scariest. The prizes are great, so we encourage you to participate!  You can take your pumpkin home with you at the end of the event.

​

Can I bring friends who don’t go to Fairhill?

Yes, the Fall Festival is a community event and open to anyone in our community who would like to attend.

 

What is a 50/50 raffle?

50/50 raffles are similar to other raffles, but the prize is 50% of the money raised through raffle sales. The PTA keeps the other 50%. The more chances you buy, the higher odds you have of winning.

 

How can I donate to help support this event & the Fairhill PTA?

Thanks for considering helping!  You can volunteer your time to help run the event (sign up here), donate single-serve chips & drinks to be sold at the event (please drop them off at Fairhill's front office rather than sending them to a classroom), or donate to the PTA (donate here).

 

A final note: Please come ready to have fun and bring positive attitudes for the volunteers running the event, as well as all the students and their families who come to enjoy the event. We hope to see you there!
