If the weather does not cooperate, we will relocate as many areas as possible inside the school for your enjoyment. Please make sure to come on out and support the school and enjoy all that fun fair has to offer.
WHERE DO I BUY GAME TICKETS?
Buy tickets (which are sold in multiples of $5, $10, $20) at the Game Ticket Tables. Your tickets will then be hole punched as you play games, have your face painted, get your picture taken at the photobooth, play a round at the cake walk game or enjoy popcorn, sno-cones and cotton candy.

BATHROOMS
There are bathrooms located in the school just outside of the Kindergarten classrooms. Additional washrooms are located at the end of the south hallway.
PARKING:
Please note if anyone parks in the overflow parking (behind the school parking) at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, they will be locking the overflow gates at 6:30pm when their event is over. If your car is still there it will be locked in. Do not park in their overflow parking (behind their school).
