Once Again � Everyone is a Winner at Fall Festival!



Both young and young at heart enjoyed the cake walk

On Saturday, October 23, the HFCS PTA held its tenth annual Fall Festival and is pleased to report it was a grand success! HFCS was bustling with more than 400 people and bursting with spirit with a record number of vendors selling their wares, kids doing craft projects, young and young-at-heart dancing the �cake walk,� a ghoulishly fun �Haunted Hall�, folks tapping their feet to the HFCS Jazz Band, and everyone enjoying baked goods and the vibrant atmosphere!


The raffled items as always were a big hit � and the winners of them were quite pleased � a fire pit, won by Ellie Danforth; a Will Moses Print with custom framing, won by Bill Jacobson; and a �Dine in ~ Dine out� package, won by Delana Aubin.


Other winners were Penny Dalpe, who won the 50-50 raffle, and Gabriella Mead, who guessed the closest number of Swedish fish candy in the kids activities area in addition to all of the cakewalk winners. And, we shouldn�t forget all the door prizes offered by the vendors. Congratulations to all the winners!


The ultimate winners, though, are the students of HFCS and our community. The PTA is pleased that the festival continues to be about making a commitment to families and helping to bring them together with friends for some fun, to meet new people, and to buy great local products. The PTA doesn�t raise a lot on this event, because that�s not its purpose, but what is raised helps the PTA continue its financial support of classrooms and to bring special programs to the children and parents in our school district.


The PTA would like to extend thanks to all the local businesses and groups who offered their support, talents, and products. And a special thanks to the students involved in the Youth Summit Team, Girl Scouts, and Key Club for their great work with setting up and running the kids� activities. In addition, the PTA couldn�t get the festival off the ground each year without the tireless efforts of its many dedicated volunteers and the generous support of the vendors and school personnel.
