New Hope Baptist Church opens its grounds for an afternoon of free family fall fun — a Fall Festival the church runs as a safe, family-friendly alternative to Halloween.
On the lineup: fall snacks, games, face painting, bounce houses, door prizes, and music, plus a pie-eating contest and a chili cook-off where you vote for your favorite. Everything is free.
