School Days

2013 WV Pumpkin Festival School Days

Thursday October 3RD or Friday October 4th

Teachers

The West Virginia Pumpkin Festival would like to invite you and your students to spend a fun and educational day with us on Thursday or Friday. We will have many of the activities we have had in the past such as:

Civil War Encampment

Story Telling

Many Old Time Crafts

Pumpkin Decorating for every child that would like to decorate their own pumpkin (ages preschool to 5th grades)

Remember the rules: NO COMMERCIAL DECORATIONS, only those that the children think up. BE SURE TO BRING ALL MATERIALS and something to sit on. The ground will be damp from the dew. ONLY DECORATED PUMPKINS can be taken off the grounds.

Admission is $2.00 for each child and adult.

Teachers, please make sure you give all your parents this information. We don't want any hard feelings over a pumpkin.

A pamphlet of activities will be available. Note that activities may be added after the pamphlet is printed.

In the Entertainment Building you will find age appropriate entertainment for the students. They can sing along or dance to the beat.

In the Agriculture Tent you will find a "cow" (not real) to milk and a chicken laying eggs. Students can dig for potatos, watch bees gathering honey and many more activities to show students the source of some of the food they eat.

Look in the "Arts and Crafts Tent" for spinning, weaving, canning displays, et al.

Please call Becky Cooper at (304)743-9159 and leave your name, school name and number of students you will be bringing. The count is needed in order to ensure enough pumpkins for the students (preschool to 5th grades). If no answer, please leave a name and number where you can be reached.

Hope to see you at the WEST VIRGINIA PUMPKIN FESTIVAL
