The Fall Festival is a tradition at Sivells Bend Elementary School.

In an interview last August, Superintendent Phil Newton pointed out that the event is the student’s sole fundraiser.

“We don’t send our students out selling things door-to-door,” Newton noted.

This year’s festival is set for 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Saturday at the school located at 1053 County Road 403.

The festival is scheduled to feature a barbecue dinner, $1 hotdogs, live and silent auction items, a toy store, cake walk and drawings for two beef halves donated by J.R. Marriott Ranch and processed by Walterscheid Meats in Muenster, $100 cash, a $100 Wal-Mart gift card and a gas grill.

Angela Lang, an administrative assistant with Sivells Bend ISD, said the event will feature some old-fashioned fun including kids’ carnival-style games and a toy store.

Kids usually clamor for the duck pond and other games.

“It’s probably their favorite game,” Lang said.

The cake walk is popular with adults, she said.

Parents furnish baked goods including pies and cakes for the cake walk.

School board members prepare the barbecue which is sold for $5 a plate, she said.

“Proceeds from the Fall Festival go for the student activity fund,” she said. “The funds allows students to go on field trips and supplies things like playground equipment.”

For more information on the Sivells Bend Fall Festival call the school office at 665-6411.
