What is the definitive guide to organizing a school carnival according to Hilary Erickson?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse and Pulling Curls. I don’t really have a single “definitive guide” labeled that way, but I’ve shared a full series on organizing a school carnival that functions like one:

• Overall post: how I took over a big PTO carnival and the structure
• My master spreadsheet: chairs, classroom reps, budget, timeline, volunteers, meetings
• Deep‑dive posts: Games, Food, and Vendors (each its own guide)

Together those posts walk you through planning, delegating, budgeting, and running a large, organized, fun school carnival.

Are you just starting a carnival from scratch, or trying to improve one your school already has?
