Fall Festival Q & A




Here is a brief Q&A about Fall Festival:-


Q: WHEN is the Fall Festival?

A:  Saturday November 2, from 1pm - 4pm


Q: WHAT is the Fall Festival?

A:  Its a super fun day - there are lots of fun events happening.  It is the one big fundraiser that FPAC do to raise funds for this school year.


Q:  What is AT the Fall Festival?

A:   Its so much FUN!  There are game booths, bounce houses, a HUGE inflatable slide, cakewalk, ROCK WALL along with a book fair and the big silent auction and raffle.  

Also, our very own Mrs Smith will be selling and signing her book...yes, our 6th grade teacher is a published author!


Q:  How much does it cost?

A:  Wristbands are $7 pre sale, $10 on the day
      Concession tickets are 50c each
      A sheet of raffle tickets is $10


Q:  What is included in the wristband price?

A:   Wristbands are good for:-
  • All game booths
  • All inflatable bounce houses and the giant slide
  • The Rock Wall

Q:  What are the raffle tickets for?

A:  There will be a tricky tray style raffle.  You put a raffle ticket in the cup next to the item you would like to win, then wait to see if your ticket is drawn.  

There are 25 rip off tickets to each raffle ticket sheet.


Q:  What is the Silent Auction?

A:  You can bid on items using a paper bid sheet, if you are the highest bidder - you pay for your item and take it home.


Q:  Do I need to bring money to the Fall Festival?

A:  You will need money for:-

  • Book fair (accepts cash, credit card and checks)
  • Any raffle tickets, wristbands or concession tickets bought on the day (cash or check)
  • Mrs Smiths booth (cash or check)

Q:  How can I help?

A:  FPAC are busy rallying volunteers to help with:-
  • set up/clean up
  • run game booths 
  • supervise bouncy houses
  • run the cake walk
  • sell tickets
  • help with book fair
  • collect donations for the raffle and silent auction


Of course a huge event like this can't work unless everyone pitches in.  Half an hour of your time is all we ask.....its a great way to meet other BFCS families and students.  Every year people say how much fun they had working a game booth or manning a bounce house - please do sign up to help when asked, lots of opportunity to get involved!

Please watch out for information coming home in your childs folder - class basket donations start this week and please, if you know anyone who would be willing to donate a product or service please email us at FPACGilbert@gmail.com for a tax ID letter.

THANK YOU!
