North Park Friendship House Holds Fall Festival
On October 31, 2008, the North Park Friendship House held a fall festival. There were numerous activities and treats that both children and adults could enjoy!
The North Park Friendship House’s Youth Club decided that they wanted to host an activity that would unite the neighborhood. They decided that hosting a fall festival would be a great way to get the neighbors together. The youth and the volunteers from the youth club worked for several weeks to plan this event. Some constructed a “fishing” and a dart throwing booth, while others made signs for each booth. Activities included an air-castle, a cake walk, a “fishing” booth, dart throwing, a pi
cture booth, face painting, cookie decorating, balloon animals, and a three-legged race. The six white horses from Hardin Simmons came out and gave the children, and some volunteers, a ride. Volunteers from Hardin Simmons came out to help man the booths. Many families from the neighborhood enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with neighbors and students. The delicious food, activities, children, and volunteers helped to make the Fall Festival a tremendous success.
