DolphinFest is the little carnival that could! Davis PTA is so excited to be putting on our beloved school carnival despite the challenges of COVID! It will be a traveling carnival this year instead of an on-campus event.
You can drive and park at designated parking, then walk, bike or scoot around the neighborhoods behind Davis Elementary to each of the booths. The booths will be hosted by Davis Families in their front yard. There will be a cotton candy booth (Fancy Fluff) and Porta Potties along the route, as well as handwashing stations.
ADMISSIONS
We are only selling wristbands this year that MUST be pre-purchased by May 7th for you to get a starting time slot. NO paper tickets this year and nothing sold the day of the event. You will need a wristband for each person wanting to participate in any of the games.
Once you purchase your wristband(s), add-ons or package(s) you will be emailed a confirmation with a link to sign up for your starting zone and time. Buy early to get your preferred time slot! If you do not select a time slot one will be assigned to you.
Buy a Dolphin Fest package to be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a $250 Gift Certificate to Austin Bounce House (only chance for the Bounce House rental is through buying a package.) The package also comes with a Pizza Gift Certificate (good for one Pizza that can be redeemed any time). The Dolphin Fest package is suitable for ONE child.
DAY OF THE EVENT INSTRUCTIONS
To ensure social distancing you will check in at either Davis Elementary for Zone 1 or Covenant United Methodist Church for Zone 2 at your designated sign up time. You will be given your pre-purchased package(s), wristband(s), and any a la carte items, along with a map for the route. You will be able to go to every booth in both zones regardless of where you start. You will park at check in locations and proceed to the booths. When you go to your next zone you do not need to check in again.
WATER BALLOON THROW
To help kick off Dolphin Fest Mrs. Daniels and some teachers have agreed to let us soak them with water balloons. This is a rollover from Big To Do. You can pre-purchase a ticket under the admissions tab to throw a water balloon at them Friday, May 14th after school. 1 ticket is 1 water balloon and you can buy as many as you want. If you already bought tickets from Big To Do you are already on the list but are welcome to buy more.
TEACHER TREAT RAFFLES
This Dolphin Fest the teachers have generously offered their time and talents for Teacher Treats Raffles. Families can purchase as many raffle tickets as they want for a chance to win a front row parking space or unique experiences between the teacher and your child. All teacher treat raffle tickets are $5.00 and buying more tickets will increase your chances to win. Most have multiple winners and some winners get to bring friends! Make sure to click on the Teacher Treat Raffles tab to preview what will be available to purchase beginning May 7th!
SILENT AUCTION ITEMS
Since we can not have our General Store we will be auctioning off 7 different themed baskets. The themes for the baskets are Art, Legos, Family Game Night, Culinary, Disney, Barbie, and Super Hero's. Check out the Silent Auction tab for more details.
The silent auction items and raffles will open up Friday, May 7th 8:00 a.m. and close Saturday, May 15th 11:45 p.m.
CAN'T MAKE IT DAY OF?
That's okay, there is an at home option you can purchase and have your own Dolphin Fest at home when you want. This will also gain you entry into the raffle for a chance to win the $250 gift certificate for Austin Bounce House rental and a pizza gift certificate for one large pizza to redeem any time. You can drive through and pick up your package May 15th 3:30-4:30 or have it delivered to you Monday, May 17th. Please see link in confirmation after purchase to let us know if you will pick up or need delivery. You do not need to participate the day of DolphinFest to be able to purchase water balloon throw tickets, (Friday, May 14th) teacher treat raffle tickets and bid on the silent auction baskets when they open May 7th.
