District-ready COI
Additional-insured wording for the ISD, the campus, and the PTA returned inside one business day. Already on most DFW district vendor lists.
The Campus Fair, Staged for the PTA.
A DFW school fair runs on three things: a PTA board that signed off on the budget in the spring, a volunteer roster that materializes the week of, and a vendor that can land a full midway on a Friday morning, work around dismissal, and leave the blacktop cleaner than we found it. That’s the whole job.
For nearly twenty years we’ve been rolling up to Frisco ISD fall festivals, Plano ISD spring carnivals, Allen ISD Field Days, Prosper ISD STEAM nights, and Wylie ISD Trunk-or-Treats with everything from a two-bouncer classroom party to a 1,500-student campus-wide midway. One call, one COI, one crew - PTA keeps the ticket revenue.

Why DFW PTAs Reuse Jumper Bee Every Year
Bell-schedule literate
We scope load-in around dismissal, car-rider loop, and bus-loop timing - setup wrapped before the first family walks over, teardown done by custodial lockdown.
PTA-margin-friendly
Scrip midway runs on your tickets, your volunteers, your price ladder - PTA keeps every dollar of ticket revenue. We bring the games, booths, and attendants.
Volunteer roster aware
Our attendants run the heavy inflatables and the attractions that need a licensed operator - your volunteers stay on ticket booth, prize wall, and cakewalk duty.
Every DFW district
Frisco, Plano, Allen, Prosper, Wylie, McKinney, Lovejoy, Celina, Rockwall, HEB, GCISD, Carroll, and Highland Park - we already know the gate, the hydrant, and the principal.
Turnkey from bounce to train
Bounce houses, carnival games, trackless train, dunk tank, face painter, balloon twister, concessions, DJ - one contract, one invoice, one call.
The PTA-Ready Midway
Ticket Booth, Game Row & Prize Wall - the Spine of a DFW School Fair
Every campus fair we stage is built on the same spine: a ticket booth at the entrance, a game row priced in scrip, and a prize wall near the exit that converts tickets back into dollar-store loot the kids actually want. That spine works for a kindergarten round-up of 80 and a spring carnival of 1,500.
- Ticket & scrip booth - volunteer-run intake at the main entrance with cash box, Venmo QR, and a PTA-branded wristband roll.
- Game row - classic midway games priced at 2-5 tickets each, rotated across age groups so the K-5 line doesn’t pile up.
- Inflatable anchor - a bounce house or combo that pulls the youngest grades and sets the visual for the rest of the fair.
- Prize redemption wall - tiered prize table run by PTA volunteers; we provide the booth, the signage, and the display racks.
- Concessions strip - popcorn, snow cone, and cotton candy carts positioned along the queue so the wait doubles as a snack run.
- DJ / emcee stinger - walk-in music, grade-level callouts, and a ribbon-cut moment when the principal opens the fair.
Scale up with a trackless train loop, a dunk tank staffed by teachers, a mechanical bull for middle-school spirit nights, or an inflatable obstacle course for Field Day finale heats.
School Fair Formats We Produce Across DFW
The campus events we stage most across the metroplex:
PTA fall festivals
The late-October staple - bounce-house anchor, carnival game row, costume contest stage, cake walk, and a Trunk-or-Treat lane if the parking lot cooperates.
Spring carnivals
April and early-May campus-wide midway - trackless train loop, dunk tank with willing PE coaches, game row, balloon twister, and concessions.
Field Day
Inflatable obstacle course, tug-of-war lane, water-bucket relay, dunk tank, and giant-game lawn - scoped around STAAR testing and the district Field Day window.
STEAM & family-science nights
Evening events in the cafeteria or MPR - a photo booth, giant games, balloon twister, and a quiet inflatable that works indoors on a hard floor.
Trunk-or-Treat & costume nights
Campus parking-lot format - trunk lane, PTA cauldron booth, costume-contest stage, a Halloween-themed bouncer, and a DJ on spooky-but-PG setlist.
Book fair & Read-A-Thon kickoffs
Library and MPR events - photo-op backdrop, balloon twister, and a family-draw bouncer on the blacktop to carry foot traffic through the day.
Back-to-school bashes
Meet-the-teacher night extras - balloon columns at the entrance, a small-footprint bouncer for the K line, and a DJ on the front walk for energy.
Grandparent & multicultural days
Smaller-footprint formats with a photo booth, a face painter for kids, a popcorn cart, and a passport-stamp activity that fits a 45-minute block.
Kindergarten round-up
April & May round-ups - two-bouncer package, balloon twister, a cotton-candy cart, and a walk-the-hallway tour format for incoming families.
Tell us the campus, the format, and the date - we’ll scope to your PTA budget.
The PTA Fundraiser, Engineered
Trackless Train, Dunk Tank & the Attractions That Move the Fundraiser
The game row pays the rent; the signature attractions move the fundraiser. The trackless train around the bus loop is the single most-requested booking across DFW PTAs, and the dunk tank with a willing PE coach or principal is a reliable top earner on every spring carnival P&L we’ve seen.
- Trackless train loop - perimeter ride around the blacktop or the bus loop, licensed operator, branded sign, 3-5 tickets per rider.
- Dunk tank - staffed by the PE coach, the principal, the fifth-grade teacher, or the school mascot on a rotation.
- Inflatable obstacle course - a Field Day finale lane or a spring-carnival timer game with a volunteer stopwatch.
- Mechanical bull - middle-school and high-school spirit nights, homecoming tailgates, and 8th-grade promotion parties.
- Photo booth & step-and-repeat - PTA-branded backdrop, prop box, and a digital download link for the parent email list.
- Cakewalk lane - we bring the number mat, the speaker, and the music cue; PTA brings the donated cakes from the volunteer bake list.
Tell us the age range and the budget cap - we’ll stack the spine and the signature lane to hit the PTA’s net-revenue target.

Popcorn, snow cone & cotton candy
Concessions carts with PTA-branded bags - sized to the expected attendance so the queue never gets ahead of the servers.
DJ, emcee & PA
Walk-in music, grade-level callouts, cakewalk cue, and a closing stinger - PTA board gets the mic for announcements and raffles.

From PTA Vote to Teardown - How a DFW School Fair Runs
The sequence we run for a full campus spring carnival or fall festival:
- T-10 weeks. Kickoff with the PTA president, treasurer, and volunteer chair - date, budget, and format locked.
- T-8 weeks. Campus walk - blacktop, field, bus loop, hydrant access, power drop, and the principal’s no-go zones.
- T-6 weeks. Inventory list, ticket ladder, and volunteer-station map approved by the PTA board.
- T-4 weeks. COI, W-9, and vendor paperwork returned to the district risk manager and the campus secretary.
- T-2 weeks. Promo flyer, Thursday-folder handout, and the Peachjar blast on the school calendar.
- T-1 week. Volunteer shift board finalized; cake walk donations, prize-wall inventory, and wristband rolls staged.
- Load-in. Crew on-site after the dismissal bell - inflate, anchor, sound-check, attendants briefed before gate.
- Doors to teardown. PTA runs tickets; we run the rides and games; teardown wrapped before custodial lockdown.

Frequently Asked Questions About DFW School Fairs
When should our PTA lock the date for a fall festival or spring carnival?
Fall festival weekends book out across DFW by late August - the last two Fridays of October are the first to go. Spring carnivals should be reserved by early February for an April or early-May date. Field Day rigs run on the same thin window because every campus schedules around STAAR testing, so lock the calendar as soon as the PTA board signs off on the budget.
Can you get the COI to our district risk manager in time?
Yes. Additional-insured wording for Frisco ISD, Plano ISD, Allen ISD, Prosper ISD, Wylie ISD, McKinney ISD, Lovejoy ISD, and every neighboring district goes out inside one business day, with the district, campus name, and PTA as the certificate holders. We’ve already been on most district vendor lists for years.
How does your crew work around bell schedules and car-rider lines?
We scope every load-in around the campus bell and the bus and car-rider loop. Typical Friday spring carnival: crew on-site by 10am, setup wrapped before dismissal, attendants in position before the first families walk over from the bus loop. Teardown starts the moment the last ticket is redeemed, done before the overnight custodial window.
What does the ticket midway look like for a PTA fundraiser?
We run a scrip-based midway - ticket booth at the entrance, game row priced in tickets, prize redemption booth near the exit. The PTA keeps the ticket revenue; we bring the booths, games, prizes, and attendants. Most campuses clear a strong margin because the fun-to-cost ratio on the midway is the heaviest lever on the event P&L.
Do you scale down for a classroom party or a single grade level?
All the time. A kindergarten round-up, a third-grade wax museum, or a single Title I community night can run on a two-bouncer plus face-painter package. The same crew and the same COI cover a 60-student classroom party or a 1,500-student campus-wide spring carnival - scope, not vendors, changes.
Which DFW districts and campus communities do you serve?
PTA and PTO fairs across Frisco ISD, Plano ISD, Allen ISD, Prosper ISD, Wylie ISD, McKinney ISD, Lovejoy ISD, Celina ISD, Rockwall ISD, HEB ISD, Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, Carroll ISD, and Highland Park ISD - plus the private and charter campuses through Twin Creeks, Starcreek, and every master-planned community in between.
