Fall Festival 2008













Sunday night our church held our Fall Festival. It is a well attended function. Over the past few years about 5000 people have come out to enjoy this event. This year I am not sure the numbers were as high. Several reasons maybe other churches in the area are getting in on this trend. Which is great because many more people get to hear the Gospel and enjoy some great, safe family time. And this year I am happy to say that our church heard the call and made it a free event. Well, almost free. Price of admissions one bag of candy and a non perishable food item for Thanksgiving Baskets.
So, knowing Shoshannah and how much stuff she could handle we kept the costume simple. The girls and I did this about 1 hour before the event. Of course by the time we to to church which is only 25 minutes away all the make up was off and we had to reapply. And within 1 hour it was off again. Oh well, at least I got a couple of pictures.

We have trunk or treating and the people who do this really get into this. Once again I don't have good pictures. My photographer (Arielle) was serving in the Chuck Wagon.
Shoshannah wasn't sure about walking up to people and holding out her bag. However, when she figured out that they were putting in candy, well she turned PRO. We only did part of that then moved onto the carnival type games. She played a few , then off to the pony rides. We were not sure how she would respond but she went right up and took a ride and loved it:)
Danielle got to ride also which is great as she was to old to get candy and play the games.

We then went inside for chili and hot dogs, praise music, fellowship with friends and then home. It was a great night.

Here are a few pictures.
