Each year, our Fall Festival is one of the most anticipated events for our families, and this year was no different! The laughter, costumes, games, and smiles filled the evening with a sense of togetherness that truly captured what community is all about. 

For many of our neighbors, the Fall Festival is more than just a night of fun, it’s a chance to enjoy a seasonal celebration with their kids, friends, and spouses without the financial burden that often comes with family outings. Parents have peace of mind knowing it’s a safe and well-monitored event, while kids can’t wait to show off their costumes, play games, and collect treats. 

This year’s festival featured a wide range of activities and community partners who helped make the night special. Guests got to make their own flower bouquets thanks to H-E-B, enjoy worship with Melonie Park Church, sip delicious drinks from Cool Kids Cafecito, and snack on goodies from the Sustainable Food Center. The fun continued with games hosted by United Supermarkets, Texas Tech’s Women’s Service Organization, TTU Pre-Vet, TTU Meat Judging Team, Block & Bridle, Westminster Lady Bugs, and the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. Families participated in trunk-or-treats hosted by Redeemer Church, the Ghostbusters, Mighty Wash, Safelite, Kappa Delta Chi, and Lisa & Andy Holt. Each trunk provided games, themed decorations, and candy for everyone. Consistently, we are blessed by the wonderful people in our community who take time out of their schedules to make events like this possible! 

Throughout the evening, we heard countless smiles and laughter, with kiddos shouting, their “wow’s” and parents expressing what a blessing the Fall Festival was to their families. Those moments remind us why we do what we do because when the community comes together, joy and hope naturally follow. 

This year’s Fall Festival brought smiles, laughter, and love to so many, and we’re already counting down the days until next year!
