Thank you, Thank you to ALL the volunteers at Fall Festival! 2,400 hot dogs were cooked and given away!
Night falls on Fall Festival! Thank you Mr. Charlie for ALL the light towers you secured for us- 10 in all!
I love this picture! Balloons everywhere and families have fun with food and fellowship at the Festival!
Noah's Little Ark sets up a petting zoo and also has pony rides at the Fall Festival. 
This was also a big hit for our Preschoolers at the Fall Festival- it was new this year!
We decided to double our seating area in the Food Section- from 30 tables in 2007 to 60 tables in 2008! We would find that often during the night most of the chairs were full. I am so thankful the Maintenance & Facilities Director suggested we make this change. Great suggestion Wayner!
As kids come in their families are asked to fill out a registration card and each child is given a glow necklace. As they leave they are given a bag of candy. If they don't have a glow necklace they are asked to fill out a registration card. We do this for two reasons - to help us get a count for attendance and to determine if there is anyone who does not attend church. We give the candy as they leave so they do not have to keep up with the bag the whole night and it does not create a lot of extra trash from the candy. We are so thankful to Applebee's, Ci Ci's Pizza, Chick Fil A and Domino's for donating coupons to put in bags. Most gave a coupon for a free kid's meal and Domino's gave a coupon for a free appetizer or 2 liter with an order.

Lots of water is needed for Fall Festival! A little friend likes the ice in the canoes. We have found this is a great way to distribute the water, coke, sprite and diet cokes. 
This is one of the new inflatable games we added to Fall Festival- 6 in 1 Sports Arena

Some little friends picking out which balloon they would like- thanks to my friend Teri who did a little more than 1,000 balloons- which were all handed out by 7 p.m. (yikes, we had 2 more hours to go- note to self....... have more balloon next year)!
I am watching people come down the hill and volunteers check in at the Volunteer Desk! What a fun night!
