Providence Christian Academy will host the annual PCA Fall Festival on Saturday, October 31, from 10am- 2pm. The Fall Festival will be held on the campus of Providence Christian Academy and is PCA's largest community-wide event of the year. Nearly 1,000 PCA families and supporters attended last year's festival and it's expected to be a great success again this year.

"The Fall Festival will offer indoor and outdoor activities and entertainment for children of all ages," says Bette McFarland, PCA Development Director. "All proceeds from the event will benefit our Annual Fund and will be utilized to support overall school operations including academics, athletics, fine arts and music."

PCA's Fall Festival activities are designed for children of all ages. Daytime activities will include bungee power jumping, rides on a mini train, a petting zoo, a rock wall, baseball speed pitch, giant inflatables, a toddler play area, game booths, and much more. Lunch and snacks will be offered in the Festival Concession Stand. Guests will also have an opportunity to visit the expanded Country Store and listen to live music.

Sponsorships and donations from businesses, supporters, and families are needed in order to make the event a success. With a tax- deductible sponsorship of $150 and above, donors have an opportunity to sponsor an activity at the event. Contact Bette McFarland, PCA Development Director at (615) 904- 0902 or bmcfarland@providencechristian.com for more information about sponsorships or to make a donation.

Booth space is available for vendors to set up near the PCA Country Store. Booths are $100 and may be reserved by emailing Terri Parker, PCA Events Coordinator, at tparker@providencechristian.com.
