PRAIRIE POST
May 4, 2018
Saturday, May 5th 1:00-6:00 p.m. at Prairie. The big day is finally here! Come for an afternoon of family fun, food, and a chance to win fantastic raffle and silent auction items! A $10 wristband includes most activities - Midwest Speleo Cave, trackless train, inflatables, tie dye, balloon animals, henna and local dance and sports teams. Food and additional vendor activities available for purchase. Rain or shine. The public is welcome, so invite your friends and family also.
We still could use a few more helping hands. The class with the greatest percentage of parents who volunteer will get the chance to silly string the Puma Claws mascot at a school assembly. Please sign up to help here or stop at the Vendor/Volunteer Table on Saturday: Puma Palooza Sign Up
Can’t make it to Palooza? You can still participate in some of the Silent Auction. You can bid online for these 20 items through the close of the Silent Auction at 5PM Saturday: Puma Palooza Online Silent Auction.
