The Funhouse, now morphing into a new name, “The Orcas Commons” will hold a Back-to-School Carnival with tables and events by various island non-profits such as Montessori, Orcas Christian School, Kaleidoscope, Readiness to Learn and the Orcas School PTSA. The family fun includes a couple of bouncy houses, carnival games, hot dogs, and more!
Cotton candy, popcorn and hot dogs will be served; coupons were mailed to all island families for a free hot dog at the event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Funhouse membership is open to all. Scholarship information is available at the front desk.
At the Carnival Funhouse/Commons staff will unveil significant changes to the Funhouse building–changes that “we believe will make this a true community center” says Executive Director Pete Moe.
They will be redoubling efforts to serve family and community through their TEAM programs, while putting less emphasis on being a tourist destination.
To be a part of the Funhouse/Commons, all ages are encouraged to call 376-7177. The website is at thefunhouse.org
