Ferndale Schools All-District Fall Festival is Saturday

Fall is in the air, and the excitement is mounting for the young and young-at-heart as the Ferndale Schools All-District Fall Festival is just around the corner.

This year’s event, sponsored by the JFK PTA, is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 20, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at John F. Kennedy Elementary School.

The festival will again feature activities and games for kids, including a rock-climbing wall (weather permitting), inflatable bounce house, slides, carnival games, and the popular Haunted Hallway.

Arts and crafts, a Boo-tique (featuring face painting)  and bake sale will round out the afternoon. Food and refreshments will also be available.

Food/game tickets are 4/$1 and wristbands, good for unlimited inflatable fun, are $8 each.

"Gone are the days of using secondary supply companies to support our special events, teacher grants, educational & entertaining assemblies and activities,” commented Melissa Wilson, current JFK PTA President. “The DIY Dunk tank and district-wide Fall Festival are two of our best fun-raising events of the year! Come join us at JFK on October 20th."
