Pre-Order Your Fun Fair Favorites! Scrips & Wristbands Now Available for Purchase

The MES Fun Fair on November 21 is next month, and pre-orders are now open for scrips and wristbands! Lock in those bonus scrips and skip the lines by ordering early and saving big.

Fun Fair Scrips: Scrips are your ticket to most of the fair’s biggest activities: inflatables, rides, grade-level games and booths, Keiki Korner, Bake Sale, Plant Sale and the PTO, Leo Club and Cub Scout booths. Scrips cannot be used at food trucks, craft booths and the Silent Auction. Each scrip is worth $1, and bonus scrips are only available with pre-order bundles:

$2.00 in bonus scrip for purchases $60+
$5.00 in bonus scrip for purchases $100+
$15.00 in bonus scrip for purchases $200+

Fun Fair Wristbands: Wristbands are the ultimate convenience for kids who want unlimited access to all inflatables and rides. Pre-order your wristband for $40 ($45 at the door), and skip paying individual scrips for every attraction (between 4 and 7 scrips each). Wristbands let kids bounce and ride as much as they want, freeing up your scrips for games and snacks.

Pre-Orders: All t-shirt orders must be in by October 15. All scrip and wristband pre-orders must be in by November 3. Head to www.moanaluapto.org/mesfunfair to purchase today.

Fun Fair VIP Parking: Looking to avoid the hassle of finding limited street parking on Fun Fair night? We have 10 stalls in the main MES Parking Lot available for purchase. You can now bid on a stall with bids starting at $100. All proceeds will go toward funding MES student activities and programs.

Deadline to Receive Payment: October 26
