$8presale punch card

Punch cards

Punch cards pay for festival games, activities, and the PTO concession stand. During presale a 10-punch card is $8 and a 20-punch card is $15. At the door they are $10 and $20. Presale ends Friday, November 6 at noon.

Why buy early

You skip the line at the door, you save a few dollars, and you are entered in a drawing for a $50 Amazon gift card. Every presale purchase also comes with a fifteen-minute early admission pass.

Vendors

Local makers and small businesses set up in 13-by-13-foot outdoor spaces and bring their own tables, tents, and payment methods. Vendor purchases are separate from punch cards. Spaces are limited and applications are subject to approval.

FAQ

Event questions.

Is the Fall Festival free?

Admission is free. Games, activities, and the PTO concession stand use punch cards, which are $8 and $15 during presale and $10 and $20 at the door. Vendors accept their own payment separately.

Can I sell at the Fall Festival?

Yes, if your business or handmade work is a good fit for families. The PTO is looking for locally made specialty items, handmade jewelry and crafts, candles, art and children's items, seasonal décor, collectibles, and more. Spaces are 13 by 13 feet, and vendors bring their own tables, tents, and payment methods. Early bird spaces were $60 through September 19 and are $75 after that. Applications are subject to approval.

Can I bring younger siblings?

Yes, to every evening and weekend event. Daytime events during school hours follow the campus visitor rules.

Where do I find the latest updates?

The PTO posts announcements and photos on its Facebook page and keeps the full calendar at haudepto.ptboard.com. This page is updated to match.
