🎃BooFest is Back — And We Need YOU!🎃

 

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 25th, from 3–5 PM and join us for a boo-rific afternoon of fun for the whole family! This year’s BooFest will feature our beloved Trunk-or-Treat, spooky entertainment, festive crafts, and so much more!
But we can’t pull it off without your help…

👻 Join the BooFest Committee!
 We’re looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us plan and organize the event. Committee meetings are held virtually once a week and only take 30–45 minutes of your time.

🎨Volunteer at the Event!
We're also in need of:
  • Mad Scientists
  • Tarot Card Readers
  • Face Painters
  • Decorated Trunks for Trunk-or-Treat
Don’t worry—Burr PTO will provide candy for all participating trunks!

Let’s make this year’s BooFest another unforgettable experience for our kids. Without enough volunteers, we may have to cancel—so please consider helping however you can!
Thank you for being part of the magic! 🕸
