RhinoFest 2010

Frequently Asked Questions


What is RhinoFest? 

RhinoFest - (formerly known as "The Rumble") is a fundraiser organized by the PTA.  Proceeds from this event will support the activities of the PTA who provides enrichment and educational opportunities for our students and teachers that are not included in the school district’s normal operating budget. In the past years those areas have included library books, student education programs, teacher and staff training, child health and safety programs as well as additional playground equipment.


Do I pay with cash or tickets for the events at RhinoFest?

Tickets will be required for all RhinoFest games, events and concessions:  Dunk Tanks, Face Painting, Tattoos, Bake Walk, Games of chance,  and more!  BACK STAGE PASSES (Wristbands) are also available for UNLIMITED ACCESS to many RhinoFest offerings.  See TICKET INFORMATION.


Can I use a credit card at RhinoFest?

Only cash and checks are accepted for payment at RhinoFest.


Where do I get tickets for RhinoFest?

What kinds of Games of Chance will be at RhinoFest?

In TINSELTOWN, kids of all ages can have fun with their favorite carnival games like the Hula Hoop Toss, One Putt Golf, Bean Bag Toss, 5 Pin Bowling and many more.

At TODDLER TOWN, our younger guests can play for prizes at the Duck Pond, Ring Toss, the Lollipop Tree and more! 


What kind of prizes can be won at ROCKY'S SHOPPING SPREE in TINSELTOWN?

Players will be awarded tokens for playing the games of chance.  They can then redeem the tokens at ROCKY'S SHOPPING SPREE (the Prize Redemption Booth) to claim their prizes.  The prizes are similar to Chuck E. Cheese – the more tokens you collect, the more prizes you’ll get.  And you’ll need to play more and win more to take home the best prizes!


Where can I find my child’s Class Basket?

The amazing Class Baskets will line the front of the stage in TINSELTOWN.  Each basket will have a box for you to insert your tickets for a chance to win that basket!  A first and last name and phone number MUST be written on the back of each WHOLE, SINGLE ticket that is put in the box.  If this information is incomplete, the ticket will be voided, and a new ticket will be drawn.  If two or more tickets are attached, a new ticket will be drawn.


What are the Teacher Parties at After Party Avenue?

Each year, the teachers and staff volunteer their time and talents to host the “Teacher Parties.”   Stop by  AFTER PARTY AVENUE located just outside TInseltown by the trophy case to sign your bid sheet to win a fantastic party for your child and a friend of their choice.   Each party represents a different theme, offering lots of fun for the winning students and teachers! See Teacher Parties for the After Party "Invitations" to bid!
