  Bring your imagination and creative skills to making an appealing and effective bulletin board for a fall festival. Use fall-related decorations, images and even language to inspire viewers to attend your fall festival. Schools, churches, organizations or a family can use bulletin boards to make information available to as wide an audience as possible.
  
  

Decorations

  Decorate your organization or family bulletin board with fall images. Choose decorations related to the festival theme. If, for example, your church is throwing a fall craft fair in November, add leaves in autumn colors with images of cornucopia, turkeys and pilgrims. If your school is celebrating Halloween with a fair and a haunted house, decorate your bulletin board with spider webs, witches and pumpkins. Make fall images for your bulletin board with felt cut-outs and red, orange, brown and gold construction paper. Buy ready-to-use fall decorations at hobby or discount stores. Search for fall images to print and cut on the web. For a preschool fall festival, bring your students into the creative process. The website Everything Preschool suggests making large leaf patterns. Let the children sponge paint the leaves in fall colors. Add each child's leaf to your fall festival bulletin board.
  
  

Information

• Announce the fall festival information. Include all relevant facts. Post printed pages listing days, dates, times and location. Draw attention to the purpose of your festival. If your charity is hosting the event, let viewers know what charity attendees will be supporting. Include any entrance fees or costs for meals.
  
  

Placement

• Hang your fall festival bulletin board where it will capture the most attention. Don't let your creative efforts go to waste. If your event is a school-wide festival, hang several bulletin boards throughout the school in areas of heavy foot traffic. If your church is holding a fall festival, hang boards in main foyers and in hallways leading to Sunday school and other non-worship meetings. Ask relevant administrative personnel for permission and advice about optimum placement.
