Family Fall Festival

Wow if you missed the Family Fall Festival, you missed a great time!  The festival is hosted by Lake Pointe Church and focuses on family fun.  Rockwall County Extension had an Educational Booth this year with a mix of fun and learning.  4-H families and Master Gardeners worked the booth.  We had Chia type plant heads that families put together and took home to watch grow.  We also offered fish printing.  This allowed the youngsters the chance to explore their creativity with color (on fish) and then make a print from it.  We even had informatinon about water conservation, a very Hot Topic. 

It was a lot of fun and yes very cool.  Some might say even cold.  Thanks to everyone who helped make this a fun experience.  We reached over 500 families through the activity.  6500 were recorded as coming through the gate.
