The festival itself was full of fun entertainment and activities for kids of all ages!

While the kids could enjoy fun at the Kidz Korner and our races and relays, the adults could roam around enjoying our wide variety of vendors and entertainment. Our world class entertainment included the choirs of the Worth County School System, a Gospel Band, Jay Short and the Dogwood Creek Band, and the Grammy Award Winning Artist John Berry!

Thank you to Eric Hatcher, our Entertainment Chair, for helping make all of this possible!

And as our final event of the festival, our Pets n' Pals parade was held on October 24th in Downtown Sylvester! We had everything from witches to our favorite animated characters enter into the parade.
