-Falloweenfest-
During the weekend of September 25, 26, and 27, 2026, JGHS will once again be transformed into Falloween, a festival that embraces all the wonders of small town living. Fond memories of a time past will fill your mind in the midst of the laid back, friendly atmosphere full of fun activities for the entire family.
JGHS and JGSC organizations, clubs, teams, community groups, civic groups and churches participate in Falloween. Groups will provide food, games, special events, activities and entertainment for everyone. A major portion of what is spent at Falloween goes directly to the JGHS scholarship fund, enabling students to offset the ever growing cost of college.
For More Information, contact Gail Crone at [email protected] or Will Morton at [email protected]
