There was a distinct autumn chill in the air Oct. 1 as the Lloyd Elementary PTA set up its Fall Fest tent on the front lawn of the school.
Fall colors and warm treats were abound in the tent, with the PTA selling mums, corn stalks and hay bales for the parents, and colorful cupcakes and cookies for the children.
“The fall fest continues to be one of our most important fundraising activities throughout the year,” said event chair Kelly Constance. “Although the funds aren’t for a specific cause this year, the money will go to a general fund that will help buy expensive books, playground equipment and fund classroom activities. It will go toward anything that will enrich the Lloyd experience.”
Parents and community members roamed through the tents to shop through a wide selection of seasonal decorations, while Lloyd classrooms were allowed through the tents one class at a time.
Although the PTA was selling Austintown T-shirts, hair accessories, and Buckeye necklaces, most of the children spent their few dollars on Halloween cookies and cupcakes.
