Family Fun Fest closes out the Carrot Fest Weekend (13 photos)

A fun filled day at Lion's Park for Family Fun Fest!

It was a jam packed schedule of events this past weekend in Bradford with the big finale on Sunday at Family Fun Fest at Lion's Park. 

Every year, the Bradford Community Church and Bradford Baptist Church put on a free family event the day after Carrot Fest with food, games, inflatables and prizes. 

Organizer, Becky Fitch says she enjoys putting on this event because she knows how expensive outings with the children can be and wanted to provide something entertaining for families that didn't cost them anything. 

"It's a great way to give back and get the family together," she said. 

"Family Fun Fest is an opportunity for everyone to get to know us in a non-church environment."

It was a hot and humid day, but that didn't stop families from attending the event from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Children were spread out all over the park, playing games like ring toss and mini golf and jumping in bouncy castles. There were snow cones, cotton candy and hotdogs free for everyone.

Kids were awarded with play money every time they played a game, which could be redeemed later for a small toy or pack of candy at the prize table. 

Families also utilized the park's splash pad to cool off when needed. 

All the booths and stations were manned by members and volunteers of the church.
