๐Ÿ‚ RHA’s 2nd Annual Fall Festival

Join us once again for some Fall Fun at RHA’s 2nd Annual Fall Festival ๐Ÿ‚๐ŸŽƒ on Tuesday, October 31st, from 6-10PM. Weโ€™re here to help you celebrate Fall with various festivities and snacks!

Play some carnival games to win fun prizes or dare to venture into our haunted corn maze. Enjoy some good old-fashioned cathartic destruction with Pumpkin Paint & Pummel, where you can paint and then destroy helpless pumpkins! After that you can pet the cute animals in the petting zoo, and then check out some of our Community Council Officer-led booths with fun activities! During set-up, from around 11:00am to 2:30pm, there will also be 40+ adorable dogs wearing their best Halloween costumes.ย 

Be sure to register and sign the waiver on Engage. This is required for entry and participation in ANY activities! You will receive a wristband upon completing check-in at the event.

Before reading on, check out our video from Fall Festival last year!


Pumpkin Paint & Pummel ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ”จ 

  • Looking to relieve some mid-semester stress? Take out your anger on some pumpkins! Come paint and then smash some fresh pumpkins with a large, heavy sledgehammer. Of course, if wanted, you can also just paint your pumpkin and take it home! 

Carnival Games & Prizes ๐ŸŽช๐Ÿ†

  • Hi-Striker: Test your strength with this classic carnival game! Put some power into that mallet and see if you can ring the bell!
  • Clown Tooth: Afraid of clowns? Face your fears and knock out some clown teeth for prizes! 
  • Stand a Bottle: Use a ring on string and get the bottle to stand! 
  • Hit the Bucket: Try and throw your ball into the bucketโ€”if it stays in, you win! 
  • Ring Toss: This classic carnival game needs no explanationโ€”toss those rings onto those pegs! 

Haunted Corn Maze ๐ŸŒฝ๐Ÿ‘ป 

  • BOO! Do you have the guts to venture into our Haunted Corn Maze? As the sun sets, the fog rolls in. Monsters will begin to emerge from the maze! Can you make it out alive, or will you succumb to fear?
