HOWARD — Fall fun began in Central PennsylvaniaandWalker Township held their annual Fall Festival and Craft Fair on Saturday, Sept. 26.

The park was filled with families enjoying many fun activities. This free, fun event was sponsored by the township Parks and Rec department. It provided games, crafts, and activities for families. Children were able to decorate pumpkins and make various fall themed crafts.

Several local agencies were on hand to provide activities and crafts for kids.  Discovery Space of Central Pennsylvania provided air spray paint wands for kids to create colorful autumn leaf pictures. Entomology students from the PSU Frost Entomology Museum shared some amazing insects and spiders. 

Balloon creations by Becky Homan and face painting by Andrea Harman were special attractions along with strolling magician, Richard Benninghoff, who mesmerized children and adults with his humor and hand magic.  

 Families were able to work together to build a scarecrow to take home.  This activity is a highlight every year at the festival.

Children enjoyed playing many games and winning lots of prizes. There were also several craft vendors hand to sell their special creations.
