FUNFEST 25TH ANNIVERSARY!!by Julia Bryant

WARNING! Do not be the person who says “Awww man –

I didn’t know that was going on”! This year will blow you

away with all we have planned and we don’t want you to

miss out, so make plans NOW to spend the day with us

enjoying all things FUN.

From start to finish, all ages will have something to do.

Like every year, we will have some of the best Arts & Crafts

vendors around, plus fantastic Fair food, contests and

demonstrations. But we will also be bringing back some

oldies but goodies as well as some new and exciting addi-

tions. How about a Zip Line? Or an authentic Wild West

Gunfight Show? Or a Jail House 5K? Or Military Vehicle

Rides? Or a Truck Pull? OR – for the First Time Ever: A

MicroFest. We will have over 20 different breweries with

samples to try. All proceeds from MicroFest will go to Our

Daily Bread Food Pantry and the Royse City Animal Shel-

ter. The proceeds from our 5K will go to restoration efforts

of our Historic Old Jail; proceeds from the Children’s

pageant will go to Prayers for Piercen; and we will also

have a booth set up to raise funds for Prayers for Keylee.

Be a part of the community atmosphere. If you would like

to volunteer that day just let me know! You will get a

T-Shirt and a full heart from doing so. Sponsor

information is also at the end of this Newsletter.
