Poe Carnival
Saturday, October 26, 2024
10am - 2pm
The annual Poe Carnival is a time honored tradition and fundraiser almost as old as our school. For over 70 years, the parents, teachers, and Poe community have come together to put on the best Fall carnival in town. Every year our community enjoys favorite featured games, rides, performances, original food, costume contests, music, a haunted house, and unique shopping. It is a not-to-miss fun family event that happens only once a year and benefits all the children of Poe Elementary.
