Nothing says “Fall” like warm apple cider, fleece jackets, and the bright colors of the trees. Summer is over, school has started and the cool, crisp air has begun to settle over Northern Michigan. It’s time to celebrate the changing of the seasons!
The Annual Fall Festival will be held Friday, October 15, 2010 at the Grand Traverse Bay YMCA, 3000 Racquet Club Dr, in Traverse City. This facility is located just south of Airport Road.
Come for an evening of food, fun, and family. Attendees will have a chance to make their own snacks by roasting marshmallows and cooking hotdogs over the fire. Families can also show off their creative carving skills on pumpkins that will be theirs to take home, and everyone will have the opportunity to try their hand at bobbing for apples.
“The Fall Festival is always a huge event as we attract many families that are looking for a fun, safe place to hang out with their kids and just enjoy the season” says Katie Winslow, event coordinator. “We are so happy to host events like this for the community because we love to see families and friends coming together to celebrate.”
The event will be from 6:00 to 9:00 pm with a cost of $15 per family. Members are free with presentation of membership card upon entrance.
The Grand Traverse Bay YMCA works every day to better our region, and solve issues that community members are concerned about. At the Y we offer programs that help kids reach their potential, that help families and individuals achieve better health outcomes, and that encourage every member of the region to get involved and make their community a better place. This is a goal that we have strived towards for decades, and our aim is to bring more services to as many people as possible in the key areas of: Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility.
