| Local merchants and citizens donated items for the silent auction. |
If you've ever visited the website for Bleckley County Elementary School, or visited for any reason, you know that it's a busy place. Between Career Days, media projects, and science fairs, there's almost always something happening there.
 |
| Several themed baskets were raffled off. They included Valentine's, hunting, snack attack, and Georgia Bulldogs. |
Thursday evening, the hallways and gyms were again bustling with activity as BCES held their annual WinterFest. The festival serves as a primary fundraiser. Proceeds will go toward technology and playground equipment said principal Janet DeLoach.
 |
| Though "Macaraena" was playing, these folks weren't dancing. They were walking for cakes and other baked items. |
There was plenty to do. Kids could get a tattoo, shoot hoops, jump inside a bounce house, or get their hair done crazily. There was a bingo game for kids and adults. Adults also could place bids for items donated in a silent auction.

While the festival officially shut down at 8, a table called "Monogram Mania" was still busy. The table, which would decorate items with initials and polka dots, still had a few more customers.
 |
| The BCMS Cheerleaders were busy doing crazy hair as well as painting fingernails. |
By around 8:30, the parking lot had cleared. While students may not look forward to school on Friday, being at school Thursday evening wasn't so bad.
 |
| At this fishing hole, every cast was guaranteed to snag a prize. |
 |
| People take a guess at how many jelly beans were in the jar. |
 |
| The basket's good! A girl sinks one at the hoop shooting contest. |
 |
| The bounce house is always a popular spot at any festival. |
 |
| What's a festival without popcorn? People could also buy pizza in the lunchroom. |
