Bring the whole family to join or cheer interactive games and activities that will give you a laugh and support much needed repairs and upgrades to the Sleepy Hollow Community Pool. Kids can brave a haunted house not too scary for the little ones, thrill in the Adrenalin Rush jumpy house, and stretch in Sidewinder wall contests. The Pool will be open for family swim and fun-raising activities. Kids sponsored by parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, good neighbors choose to swim laps, race in relays, or dive for pennies (all by age groups so we have lots of winners). See $100 "Encourage a Child" Sponsorships when you buy your tickets. Age and distance challenges will be posted at the pool. Activity times will be posted on this website closer to and at the Festival. Anyone age 11 and up can challenge themselves on the stationary bike or treadmill. Distances and rates will be posted at the Festival.
Everyone can play corn hole games and our own version of "Dunk the Chumps" with a parade of coaches, teachers. Have a fun family photo made or register for a highly discounted session with Sleepy Hollow photographer Alex Farnum for your holiday family pictures. Sample favorite Fair foods: think "not your ordinary hot dogs", popcorn, caramel apples, cotton candy. (We promise fresh fruits, too.) Taste home baked pies and take one home for a "Fair" price. Let us know if you could donate a pie (sweet, savory, pizza), one for tasting, one to take home.
Bid for silent auction for items donated by Sleepy Hollow residents, Friends of Sleepy Hollow and the broader community including summer camps; lessons or classes in swim, tennis, art, music, golf; guided hiking or mountain biking; guided walk at the Geysers with Geologist Andy Sabin; family fishing trip on the Bass Tub; Valkyries tickets. and more coming in every day. Check postings on the Auction Catalog page as we add them, and come ready to grab some great auction items while supporting the Pool.
Net proceeds from the Family Fun Festival will go to the Foundation's support for repairs and upgrades to the pool, and when that need is met, to resurfacing the courtyard, drive-through, and improving the off-street parking and walking path along Butterfield Road. The pool urgently needs replastering and tiling, new filtration system to reduce filter cleaning costs, improved chlorination system for the wading pool, deck work to correct subsidence and Spaulding. The courtyard surface is not friendly to bare feet or knees. Grit degrades the indoor floors and weather striping on the La Cantina folding glass doors. But first, we take care of the Pool. Your support this year will ensure work can begin this winter and can be completed winter 2026-27, with continuing support from the Foundation, Seal Lions Swim Team and Sleepy Hollow Homes Association.
