This year's Family Festival will mark its 10th year of helping families prepare for school. Families are encouraged to set aside Saturday, August 25, 2012 from 2:00-5:00 p.m. to go to the parking lot at the Foursquare church for what has become an annual event for families to shift into school mode.
Thanks to area businesses, churches, and individuals, over 2000 bags of school supplies have been distributed over the years. Truckloads of clothes, hundreds of hot dogs, pounds of snow-cones, gallons of Italian Sodas & lemonade and bags and bags of popcorn have blessed the Reedsport students. It has become a big party with a purpose. Booths with face-painting, balloon animals, pre-school activities, free amateur hair cuts, parent information and the Police Dept. Bike Rodeo keep everyone busy. Everything is free and everyone is invited to come and enjoy a great afternoon of family fun!
For information on how to sign up your organization, volunteer or donate school supplies, door prizes, or clothing contact the Foursquare Church at 541-271-4414.
