Family Fun Fest Provided Entertainment at the Square

Games, prizes, live entertainment, Pet Parade, free popcorn and delicious food were enjoyed by several hundred people who attended the Family Fun Fest coordinated by the Clay County Communities Revitalization Association on Saturday August 8. The Square was alive with 56 enthusiastic pets and their owners who performed for the public at the Pet Parade hosted by Carolyn Molder, owner of HeadStart Obedience School.


Many budding artists enjoyed creating their own works of art at the art pavilion.



Hula hoop jump rope and limbo contests were a hit.



Local youths provided entertainment

Children and adults went home smiling after winning prizes at the free games, which included Ring the Prize, Hit the Bottle, Moon Pie Walk, Lucky Duck, Fish, Balloon Stomp, Ladder Golf, and Bucket Toss. Competition was keen during the Hoola Hoop, Jump Rope, Limbo and Water Balloon Toss contests. The children enjoyed having their faces painted and creating their own works of art at the Art Pavilion. The public was entertained by local youth including Kyle Moss, Tiny Tarts, Sweet Tarts, Brett Walker, Singing Starts for a Better World, and In Motion.
