With kids back in school during the week, spending time together as a family on the weekends is even more important! And, a great family fall event just weeks away is the entertaining Cy Fair Family Fest at the Berry Center. Mark your calendars for October 9 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Family Festival originally began with a single church in 2005, and has grown quite a bit since then! With thirteen area churches hosting, from Catholic to Baptist, the event this year will include many family activities, music, food, lots of vendors. Additionally, family assistance organizations will also be present for those looking for a little extra help.

Over the years, the event has positively touched the lives of over 5,000 people. There will be health screenings, information booths with help for families dealing with the difficulties of Alzheimer’s, seminars about child safety on the Internet and much more.

For more information, please email the Family Fest Coordinator, Jo Ann Stevenson or visit www.cyfairfamilyfest.com.
