Kern Valley FFA won a PEAAK Award for โBest Public Eventโ for our annual Haunted Barn! We were nominated alongside 15 other prestigious events hosted by schools across the Kern High School District. This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication that has gone into hosting this event over the past five years.
Thank you to EVERYONE who helped make this event possible!
Thank you to our community for showing up year after year to support the Haunted Barn.
Thank you to Brian Bennett and โAunt Pamโ for helping us get this event started with their haunted house donations. We appreciate the time, creativity, and support you both have poured into making this event so special. The tips and tricks you shared truly made the event spooktacular!
Thank you to the Kern High School District Police Department for consistently showing up and helping keep this event safe.
Thank you to our KV Robotics class for creating incredible 3D-printed decorations.
Thank you to our alumni, parents, and boosters for running concessions and helping man the doors.
Thank you to our administration for supporting our vision and rarely ever saying no.
Thank you to our advisors for supervising, keeping us safe, and keeping us organized. Your hard work did not go unnoticed.
And finally, thank you to our Kern Valley FFA students who built walls, created decorations, decorated rooms, acted, ran games, and did so much more. Without each and every one of you, this event would not have been possible.
This event was made possible by so many people. If you know someone who helped with Haunted Barn, tag them in this post so they know how much we appreciate them!
This award belongs to ALL of us! ๐๐๐
