Autumnfest Safety
Autumnfest is a public event. While we do have police officers on site all day and the nurse's office open for minor accidents, please take extra measures:
  • Write phone number on kids
  • Tell kids to find an officer or adult in an orange Autumnfest shirt
  • Lock your cars, hide any valuables
  • For those who leave cars overnight, you must pick up by noon on Sunday.
Volunteers STILL needed!
We still have lots of spots for volunteers. Win a chance for one of eight $25 Amazon gift cards when you check in at the Volunteer Table for your slot.
