✨ Calling all witches and wizards!

We’ll be selling wands at packet pick-up on Friday, September 26 from 12:30 – 6:30 PM at our Staunton Office located on West Frederick Street, so make sure to stop by and claim your wand before the race and festival begin.

For those who won’t yet have apparated into town, fear not! We’ll also be stationed at DoGood Alley, just like in years past, and have a limited supply of wands at the race itself. These magical accessories disappear fast, so grab yours before they’re gone!

Prepare to run, cast, and conjure—your Firebolt adventure awaits! ✨
