Admission to the event was a can of food for the Kentucky
River Foothills food bank or a gently used Halloween costume
for a costume exchange. Hundreds of cans of food were collected
at the festival. See here with some of the food are Brenda
Blankenship (left), treasurer of the Richmond Kiwanis Club,
and Beth Thompson, past president of the Richmond Kiwanis
Club.
One of the major providers of assistance in running
the event were members of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority
at Eastern Kentucky University. here the girls help festival participants
make hand prints - and then clean up after the process.
A large number of sponsors provided support for this
event. Here the talking fireman is provided by the Madison
County Fire Department
One of the attractions to the event were the door prizes.
Names of the children were dropped into a box at the beginning
of the event and then prizes were awarded at the conclusion of
the festival. A boy's bicycle and a girl's bicycle, outfitted
with a helmet, a noisemaker and training wheels, and many other
prizes were provided by festival supporters including the Kiwanis
Club of Richmond, Superior Heating and Air Conditioning.
Ronald McDonald was also on hand to demonstrate a variety
of magic tricks for the participants.
One of the more unusual athletic events was spitting
pumpkin seeds for distance and accuracy
And of course their were lots of art projects - with
grandmothers help - of course
