The Boo Fest returns
The second annual Kendall High School Sports “Boo”ster fundraiser will be held at Brightly’s Farm Market on Saturday, October 15, and Sunday, October 16. This family-friendly event charges $10 per person and 100% of the ticket price goes to the Kendall High School Sports Boosters to help support sports programs at Kendall High School.
This is the second year that the Brightlys will open their farm and donate all the items for the Boo Fest fundraiser. “It is important to us to support our local schools,” said Betsy Brightly. Students from Kendall High School help work the event, including decorating, setting up, and waiting on customers. “I feel giving the students the opportunity to work this fundraiser helps teach the importance of community service and instills good work ethic,” said Betsy.
A ticket to the Boo Fest will include a pumpkin of choice from the Pumpkin Trail, cider, fresh baked donuts, face painting, festive games like pin the tail on the spider, cornhole, and more. There will also be mini pumpkin painting, a costume contest, photo booth, and a haunted bus. “The event is both indoors and outdoors so it will happen rain or shine,” said Betsy. Two large greenhouses will be used to accomodate the games, festivities, and fun as well as tents donated by the Kendall Lions Club. There will also be a bonfire Saturday evening, starting at 6 p.m.
Boo Fest is a two-day event this year, Saturday, October 15, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, October 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tickets can be purchased at the event, which is held at Brightly’s Farm Market located at 525 Drake Road, Hamlin. For more information, call 585-636-4337.
