Carnival games, a cupcake walk and a swaying pirate ship are just some of the highlights of this year’s fall fair at Valentine Elementary School on Saturday, October 4, 10:00 a.m-3:00 p.m.
Themed “Valentine and the Chocolate Factory,” the festival will feature old favorites such as face painting, Crazy Hair Salon, a raffle draw and the Valentine’s Got Talent Show.
There will also be rides and attractions including a water balloon launching game known as Water Wars and a 40-foot fiberglass slide.
One of the newest highlights this year is a live DJ and the unveiling of Valentine’s own “jail.”
