WEEKEND: Jefferson Elementary School’s spring fair slated today (Friday) in Port Angeles

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, May 16.

PORT ANGELES — The Jefferson Spring Fair, the carnival at Jefferson Elementary School, 218 E. 12th St., will feature a variety of games from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. today.

Admission is free to the public, while food, beverages and carnival game tickets will be sold. Tickets for events are 25 cents or four for $1 or 25 for $5.

Family-friendly games are planned indoors and out — equine bingo with a miniature horse, a dunk tank, a bounce house, hot dogs, cotton candy, face painting by Marjorie Newberg and music by DJ Schmeejay.

Sock hop

Another fair attraction: a sock hop inside the “Spirit of America” hot air balloon, which Capt. Crystal Stout will bring over from her Morning Star Balloon Co. in Sequim.

The red, white and blue balloon will be on the field beside Jefferson School, and fair-goers will be able to walk and dance inside it.

Fair proceeds support Jefferson’s Parent-Teacher Organization, which funds school programs such as field trips, guest speakers and equipment.

For more information, phone the school office at 360-457-4231.
