Thanks for joining us here at the school carnival! All are welcome, including adults, kids, and anyone who wants to support the school. Entry Fees for non-students are 1 Galleon/adult or 10 Sickles for kids 4-17 (Under 3 is free!) While most of the activities are free for all, there are a few that cost money. Buying Raffle Tickets for the Quidditch prizes are 1 ticket for 5 Sickles or 5 for 1 Galleon. Art projects for sale will cost whatever is listed on the piece. All the clubs will also have out donation bins by their booths. Please donate if you can, since all the funds are being used to help the clubs grow bigger and better. If you're not able to donate, don't worry, you're still welcome. Please have fun and explore the whole carnival, but make sure you're prepared for the big finale at the main stage after sundown!


Thanks for attending the festivities and supporting your favorite school!

Inside the Great Hall, you have a worldly feast prepared by the Culinary Club. The dishes are explained by the Language Club, who will also teach you basic words/phrases from the country of origin. Some of the Music Club students were recruited to serenade you with music of the country for a full, immersive experience.

**Please let the chefs know if you have any food allergies!**

Outside, right at the heart of the carnival, is a large stage set up. There are a number of events here, all taking place at different points through the day. You'll see fighting and self-defense demonstrations by the Fite Club, Dueling Club, and Art of the Sword. There will also be a fun Battle Reenactment done by the Drama Club, Order of the Stick, and the Adventurer's Guild. There will also be a concert of our wonderful Music Club members, showing off their instruments and skills. The final event will be a thank you from the Head Boy & Girl, featuring a fun surprise.

Here is the main event of the whole Carnival, the booths! Each are manned by club members, students, or sometimes professors. Each booth goes to support the connected club. There are also tons of fun games and such for kids (and kids at heart) to enjoy. There are a few booths with artwork, some to display, some to sell. These go to the Art Club students. There is also a large photo booth, complete with silly accessories. Dress up and get some pictures taken by the staff at the Daily Dragon. Herbology Club has a booth where you can get a little plant of your own, along with a booklet on their care (larger/more valuable plants may be purchased here too). They're also offering tours of the greenhouses and Llwyn Idun, the grove of student-grown trees. Astronomy invites you to play a planetary ring toss, as well as learn all about the solar system and constellations. Peek through their telescope to see the mysteries of the universe. Creature Appreciation club has a petting zoo of sorts, filled with a few friendly magical creatures. Prepare to learn about the creatures, as well as get to pet them and make friends. Namaste has decided a professor dunk tank is the best possible way to relieve stress right before exams week, so feel free to try to dunk your favorite (or least favorite, we don't judge) professors.

**Ring Toss Rules: You can choose to toss at small planets (worth 5 points each) or large planets (worth 10 points each). To toss, roll 1d20. 10+ is perfect for the small planets, but you need a 15+ to land on the big planets without the ring falling off. You get 3 tries, and points can be used to earn prizes. (Feel free to post all three attempts in 1 post by simply rolling 3d20)

**Dunk Tank Rules: You get 2 attempts to dunk the professor, however, if you hit the first time, that's it for that turn. To hit, you must roll a 17+ on a d20. As always, feel free to roll both attempts in the same post.

Welcome to the ever popular Quidditch Pitch. The stands are decked out in all four house colors, ready for fun. Inside, you'll find an Obstacle Course set up for anyone who wants to fly. There are also fancy brooms from Nimbus, Firebolt, and Quinlan Brooms for those wanting to test-fly. This is especially welcomed for the students that may not otherwise get to speed-fly. Here are also a few Pro Quidditch Players that will take pictures, sign autographs, and raffle off some fun merch. The money here will go to new equipment, as well as helping purchase new brooms for the school.

**Rules for the Obstacle Course Challenge: roll 3d20, of your 3 dice, one must be 10+ for the first waypoint, 13+ for the second, and 16+ for the third and final stop. Order doesn't matter. If you get 1/3, it's 10 points, 2/3 is 25 points, and a successful run will net 50 points. These points can be used for the raffles (5 points = 1 entry) or a photo/autograph from the pros (25 points each)

The Raffle: 3 prizes will be given - a Quinlan Brooms Model Q 2.0 racing broom, a full set of gear for any position, and a gift certificate for Spintwitches Athletic Supply in Hogsmeade. To participate, you may either cash in points earned in the course OR purchase tickets. All you have to do is add your name, which raffle you wish to enter, and how many tickets you're collecting. At the end, a random number generator will be rolled and prizes can be collected. Tickets cost 5S each, or 5 for 1G. If you purchase/use points to purchase tickets, please fill out this Raffle Form so we can keep track!
