The third annual Kendall High School Sports “Boo”ster fundraiser will be held at Brightly’s Farm Market on Saturday, October 14, and Sunday, October 15. 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 third year that the Brightly Farms 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. Last year the Boo Fest raised almost $5,000 for the Kendall Sports programs.
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. Cider is donated by Robb Farms.
Boo Fest is a two-day event this year, Saturday, October 14, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday, October 15, 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.
