Old Fashioned Fall Festival:

This is a first-time family event to celebrate fall and enjoy being outside and the simpler activities of another time - without computers, Ipods, Blackberrys, video games and television. Sack and spoon races, decorating pumpkins, making a scarecrow, an apple oozing with caramel or molten candy - are brand new activities to many our families and neighborhood children. Our immigrant families will learn some old fashioned American traditions and our single moms and stressed-out families can take a break - have some fun and enjoy each other and the simple things in life.
