On Sunday, October 25, both children and adults alike thoroughly enjoyed Fall Festival held at Catheys Valley Park. The annual community event included a costume contest, games, haunted school house, petting farm, horse rides, a Thriller dance, local vendors, delicious food, drawings, a silent auction, and more.
Here are contestants from the grades 1-4 category of the costume contest. With such great costumes, it was difficult to choose winners.
Parent Michael Conley brought his very well trained horse, Dolly, for children like Tyson Shelby (shown here) to ride (with parents' permission, of course). This was a big hit!
Fall Festival included many games for children to play, like this one in which Ian Harry gives Eva Smerba a candy prize as Daisy Salonen looks on and awaits her turn.
Khloe Reynolds holds an adorable 3 day old goat that Charli McCord of Dolce Vita Ranch brought to Fall Festival as part of a petting farm. The petting farm was a highlight of the event.
Ms. Contreras' seventh and eighth grade class at Sierra Foothill Charter School did a fabulous job turning this building into the Spooky Old School House and delighting visitors with a scary skit inside.
Many participated in this year's Thriller zombie dance, entertaining a large audience with their skills.
