However, Harridan learns of the event and sabotages it with help from her hesitant assistant Jennifer by deflating the bounce house, releasing the animals from the petting zoo, replacing the face paint with glue, putting cockroaches in the food, letting the goats eat the pies, and bribing the groundskeeper of the park to let the sprinklers run for two hours, soaking everyone and making everyone leave the festival. They decide to hold a fundraising children's festival called "Rock for Daddy Day Care" to raise the necessary capital. Marvin quickly mentions he knows of a building with potential, but they cannot afford it. Not wanting to remove any of the children, Charlie chooses the latter option.
