HAPPY FALL Y'ALL! The Buena Vista Fall Carnival is TONIGHT, October 18th, from 5 to 8 p.m.

The Buena Vista Fall Carnival is sponsored by our amazing PTA. This is a family event (grandparents, friends--all are welcome!) you will not want to miss! There will be something for everyone, including activities, games, face painting, a silent auction, and much more! There will also be a food truck available from The Bench, a new downtown restaurant owned by the same people who started Odyssey Gastropub. Expect to see a selection of burgers, sandwiches, and salads as well as some creative offerings. For dessert we will have the Scoop Bus here from Josh and John's Naturally Homemade Ice Cream, a Colorado Springs favorite! PTA will receive a percentage of the profits from all sales!


Halloween costumes are encouraged (but please no scary costumes!)!
