Harvest Fest
2025-10-29 17:30 - 19:00 | Greek Village
Join Mercer Panhellenic for Harvest Fest 2025!
Panhellenic Council will be hosting Harvest Fest on Wednesday, October 29th from 5:30pm to 7pm in Greek Village. This event is for Macon elementary students and their families to visit Mercer for an afternoon of crafts and fun. Organizations are invited to set up a table with a craft or some other activity for the kids. If you are interested in participating, register through this link https://givepul.se/a04fvy by Monday, October 20 at 11:59pm. Panhellenic Community Service will be in contact with you about which of your craft or activity ideas can be used during the event.
Because the event is so close to Halloween, there has been a tradition of serving individually packaged candy at each table. While this is not required, it certainly makes the event especially memorable for the kids. If you choose to provide candy, please make sure that there is something for everyone and is allergy-friendly. Let us know if you need any assistance providing candy or an activity for your table.
In addition, have your member dress in a costume or wear a shirt of your organization at the event. We ask that each organization have at least two members working their table during the event. Your members should arrive no later than 5pm to set up your table.
Because the event is open to the Macon community, it is important that we get lots of participation. It is something that the community looks forward to each year, and we would love to see members of the Mercer community come out and support our local kids and families.
Please contact us if you have any questions at mupancommunityservice@gmail.com. There is no pre-registration for families!
