extra details you may be interested in:
*Our festival is only possible in its current form with the generous service of our GBLUES parents and so many university groups: SU Education Association, Kappa Delta Psi, Alpha Phi Omega, the Human Communications classes of Felicia Shearer and Dr. D, the SU Adventure Club... Thank them when you see them!
*Scarecrows! All Supplies will be ready for some fine scarecrow stuffing. You can take one home for $5.
*Your $5 green wristband gets you full access to 15 carnival games and all of the activities. Games earn tickets, which children can exchange at our prize store: we have prepared great prizes, above the usual little plastic junky carnival fare: donated books and games, craft kits, nature treasures, art and writing supplies, and (can't help it!) glowsticks.
*A $3 purple craft wristband allows one each of the 5 autumnal-themed craft offerings (they'll each have a unique hole punch to mark your participation). Because of limited supplies, if you want to do multiples, you many only after purchasing a second wristband (just try to beat that price at any other festival!). Making the crafts unlimited sometimes leads to more reckless work, and we want our carefully-prepared projects to be as special as possible.
*Curious about the science zone? This year, our mad scientists have prepared great learning adventures like making slime, a giant bubble, and mentos/coke rockets.
*The adventure zone will train kids on rock climbing safety, and the zip line is run by certified belayers with child-sized harnesses generously loaned
*giveaways! Certificates to the Clymnasium, mums, and other decorations will be given to lucky attendees. Watch for drawing tickets near the cashier's table.
*the pocket fairy and good fortune teller are exciting new additions this year: be sure not to miss them!
Full menu and prices: coming soon!
