Karen Acres Fall Festival - October 22nd (THIS Saturday)!
Saturday, October 22, 2022 from 10am-3pm
As we begin to prepare for the opening of the new Valerius next year, we will be working with Karen Acres PTO throughout the year to begin bringing families together. You’ll see us partner on several events throughout the year! This is one event Karen Acres has invited us to join! Mark your calendars now for the 5th Annual Karen Acres and Valerius Elementary Fall Festival! From vendors, crafters, free inflatables, train rides, walking tacos and of course raffle baskets everyone is sure to have a wonderful time!
Fall Fest wouldn't be a success without the many volunteers who give their time to help. The PTO is looking for volunteers for Saturday, Oct. 22, to serve food, sell raffle tickets, and help with inflatables and other activities. One-hour shifts are available throughout the day between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., so whether you can help for just an hour or maybe more, please consider signing up!
