UPDATE:
NovemberFest has been cancelled and will be rescheduled for a later date. Currently, there is a leak in our boiler heating system. We’ve been closely working with our regional superintendent and the district. A contractor will be in the building at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday to make repairs, so as not to disturb instruction. This maintenance requires turning off all building heat on Saturday.
The festival — including the craft fair, community partner demonstrations, inflatable obstacle course, and other planned activities — will be rescheduled for Winter 2020.
Dear CGA Families,
You’re invited to join us Saturday, Nov. 16 from 12PM – 2PM for NovemberFest, our annual fall celebration. NovemberFest is sponsored by the CGA PTO, and is is held at Columbus Gifted Academy. Admission is free.
NovemberFest 2019 will feature:
- Inflatable activities and carnival games
- Food from Super Mandy’s grill, food trucks, plus a chili cook-off!
- Silent auction and mini-craft fair
- Community partner demonstrations including Actors’ Theatre’ Weapons Demo
- Free Family Photos
- Book Fair
- and more!
We will also be collecting shelf-stable food for our CGA food pantry.
CHILI COOK-OFF ENTRY ($10 to compete; free to taste):
Please bring your chili to the cafeteria no later than 11:45AM on Saturday, November 16th. You will need to provide a crockpot to keep your chili warm, and a serving utensil. We will provide cups, napkins and spoons for those who will taste your chili and vote. Please also be prepared to display the ingredients of your recipe in case tasters have a food allergy and need to avoid one of the ingredients. You do NOT have to display the exact recipe, only the ingredients. Register here to compete:
