PEF Carnival

Enjoy carnival games like Ring Toss, Alien Invasion, Krazy Kans, and more! There's snow cones and lots of fun volunteers to help your kids play. Buy your kids their wristbands in advance at PiedmontStore.org. A wristband gets you unlimited carnival games, one walk through the Cake Hop, and one snow cone. All sales benefit Beach, Havens, and Wildwood.

Community Groups Tables

Showcase your organization at the Harvest Festival!

All community groups are invited to participate, subject to two rules:

• Tables must incorporate a "harvest" theme in some fashion. (Examples: mini pumpkin toss game, harvest themed coloring sheets, plant giveaway)
• No sales or requests for donations are allowed

To register a table, contact Jessica Pomey at [email protected].

Scarecrow Alley

The theme for this year's Scarecrow Alley silent auction is "Under the Sea".

This treasured tradition is a great class project! Parent volunteers lead students in brainstorming ideas, gathering materials, and building a scarecrow creation that will be auctioned at the Harvest Festival. All auction proceeds benefit Beach, Havens, and Wildwood.

For more information, contact the Piedmont Education Foundation: [email protected].
