Last Friday we participated in our 2nd fall festival of the year at Heckethorn Elementary. What a GREAT event! It was the first fall festival the school had ever put on but you would have never known. Heckethorn and their PTO did an amazing job with everything.
Food was donated by North Side Nathan's Pizza, every grade had a booth set up with carnvial games and a DJ was blasting music all night. The games included the toilet paper throw, water ballon popping, bean bag toss through a toothless smile (thats was the game we created for the event... stay tuned for some pictures) and a really great scavenger hunt. Students and their families were out in full force, many of whom were already dressed up in their trick-or-treat threads. I personally saw at least four Lady Gaga costumes...
At our booth we handed out informational brochures, business cards and pens. Those, however, were not nearly as big of a hit as the sour patch kids and silly bands! The silly bands/candy were given away to everyone who tried our bean bag toss. Everyone that played recieved a piece of candy and a cool set of Halloween silly bands. Let me tell you, this was my first experience with silly bands.... and i have to say i will never forget it! WOW! I remember when Pogs were big, I remember when Magic Cards were in but NEVER have I EVER seen anything like the 2010 Silly Band craze! Kids go absolutely bananas for them.
With how busy we have been lately we did not have much time to prepare for this event. Somehow on Friday we all pulled together and got it done just in the nick of time. After it was all said and done and we were able to catch our breathe everyone was smiling and happy to have taken part in such a great event. Thank you Heckethorn for allowing us to participate in your fall festival! See you next year!
