SHM Fall Carnival Planning Update

SHM Fall Carnival is coming together… BUT we need your help!!!

We need help with the following:

• We have the most popular attractions from last year returning, but we NEED IDEAS FOR ANOTHER MAIN ATTRACTION!  If you’ve seen something really cool at a Carnival, let me know!!  Something that will encourage people to come and that the kids will love!  Last year we had a Petting Zoo and The Eliminator (a Wipeout-type knock down game) as main attractions and they were not as popular as we had hoped, so we’re looking at new options.  We have some things lined up, but are open to new and better ideas!
• Donations for the Cake Walk:  these need to be labeled and from a business (not home made, sorry).  And we’re looking for some allergy-free options (gluten, nut, milk -free options).
• Doing an Inventory of current Carnival supplies at the school; just a couple volunteers!
• Finding a source of cheap Silly String
• Making boxes for tickets.  These boxes are used for collecting tickets at each attraction.
• Ideas for Día de Muertos:  things to make, to sell, or to do along this theme!
• Face painters, especially those that can do Día de Muertos face painting and are willing to volunteer their time at Carnival!
• Repainting the Cakewalk area on the back patio of the school.

Some exciting news about FOOD at Carnival this year:

Mr. Bill Louthan, father of our music teacher Ms. Louthan, and former owner of Clown Burger in Haltom City will be making hamburgers for Carnival again this year!!!

There will be 2 food locations at Carnival:

The first will serve hamburgers and BBQ brisket sandwiches.

The second will serve:  Flauta plates with rice and beans, Eloté (Corn in a cup), Nachos, and Bags of Fruit.

Both locations will sell cans of soft drinks and water with cups of ice.

And we’ll have a Snack Shack.
