  • What types of payment are accepted? 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, resulting in a line. 

  • Is the Fall Festival friendly for younger children who aren’t in school yet? Yes! There are many activities that younger kids can enjoy that are just right for them. 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 (Chick-Fil-A and Ben & Jerry’s gift certificates and more), 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 taken in by the raffle sales. The other 50% is retained by the PTA as part of the Fall Festival fundraiser. 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, donate single serve chips & drinks to be sold at the event (please drop them at Fairhill's front office rather than sending them into a classroom), or make a donation to the PTA.

  • 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.​
