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!
