Sunday, Monday are fun fests for families

Family fun festivals set for Sunday, Monday

Two events are being sponsored by the Highland Lakes religious community this Halloween but the emphasis is not on Halloween; instead on the bywords “free,” “family,” “fun” and “safe.”

Sunday

The first Family Fun Fest of the Granite Shoals Faith Alliance will take place Sunday, Oct. 30, at Veterans Memorial Park, located on the south end of Phillips Ranch Road in Granite Shoals.

An all-city worship service will be held at 11 a.m. at the park pavilion.

From 1-5 p.m. activities for the whole family will be sponsored by the Granite Shoals police and fire departments. In addition to food, music, door prizes and giveaways, activities for children are planned to include a petting zoo, games and contests.

Monday

On Monday night, Oct. 31, the First Assembly of God Church of Marble Falls will hold its FUNFEST from 6-8 p.m.

First Street will be closed from Main Street to Avenue J for the festivities that will include music by the Sherman Mountain Boys, a mechanical bull ride and a 24-foot super slide.

Kids can tour the Scooby Doo Fun House and the Chuggy Choo Choo Playhouse. Hoop Mania, a fish pond, apple bobbing and a corn scramble are among games planned.

Free candy and prizes and a free cakewalk will be included. The first 300 people to arrive can enjoy free nachos.
