Neighbors Enjoy Fall Carnival
College Heights neighbors come together for a fun evening
Nearly 150 ninja warriors, butterflies, football players and princesses, along with their friends and families came together on Thursday, October 30, for the annual Fall Festival at the College Heights Friendship House. The event was sponsored by CCC, with special assistance from the Hispanic Leadership Council and numerous community organizations.
The kids enjoyed a wide variety of game booths and other activities, including two Air Castles, a miniature golf game, football toss, a cupcake walk, basketball toss, and a dunking booth. There were also games especially for the little ones, including bowling, a duck pond, tabletop basketball, and more. All the youngsters received prizes and candy at each booth. Families enjoyed the perfect fall weather while they ate jumbo hot dogs and got better acquainted with their neighbors.
The carnival was also a chance for the young neighbors to learn about helping others - the price of admission for the festival was a non-perishable food item. The canned goods were collected and donated to the Food Bank of West Central Texas.
Our thanks to all those who came together to make the carnival such a success. We especially want to express our thanks to
