Prescott FFA Plans Halloween CarnivalBY JOHN MILLERPublished Wednesday, October 11, 2000 in the Nevada County Picayune Prescott's Future Farmers of America club will be putting on a Halloween Carnival Tuesday, Oct. 31. The carnival will be held in the Potlatch Building at the Nevada County Fairgrounds from 6 p.m. until everyone leaves. According to Misty Holly, the carnival is for children up to the age of 11. There will be no haunted house, though someone will be on hand telling ghost stories all night. Other events include a duck pond, bobbing for apples, a treasure hunt, costume contest, basketball shooting and football toss, along with a balloon dart game. Participants can feast on popcorn balls, caramel apples, soft drinks and other Halloween snacks and drinks. There will be a jack-o-lantern contest for the bigger kids (parents), while the smaller children will get to draw their own designs. This adult jack-o-lantern contest will be sponsored by the Prescott-Nevada County Chamber of Commerce Admission to the carnival will be $2, with the games costing 25 cents each. Holly said all of the FFA members will be in costume. The money raised from the carnival will be used to help offset the cost of the members attending the state and national FFA convention next year.
