Fall Festival in Warner Robins, Georgia

by multitrack

Orange, greens, and yellows take over in the fall months.  The leaves’ bright green foliage transforms to bright yellows and oranges.  Cooler evenings replace hot summer nights.  Announcements of fall festivals and parties on the weekends grab the attention of those ready to indulge in the fun fall celebrations bring. One of my favorite fall festivals is held in late October around Halloween at a local Warner Robins church in Georgia.

When you arrive at the gate, you and your family, if you plan on eating, receive free wristbands.  Usually, their menu includes hot dogs, potato chips, soda, popcorn, and funnel cakes with powdered sugar.  The hot dogs, funnel cake, and popcorn are prepared on the spot.  Did I mention that you can eat and drink as much as you’d like?

In the past, they have offered pony rides and hayrides. Also, carnival-like games are set up under two tents for the children’s amusement and sweet tooth.  You win candy if you beat the game, and you win candy if you don’t.  Children bring their own bags for collecting their treats.  However, if you forget to bring a bag for your children, church members have them at the entrance of the festival.  Also, the festival includes a costume contest for children and face painting.

This local church puts on this free festival every year, and the community embraces this family-friendly event by coming out in large numbers every time.
