Zion Lutheran School Fall Fest a fun evening for families

 

[November 14, 2022] 

The community was in for a treat on Saturday evening if they chose to attend the Zion Lutheran School Fall Fest. The November 12th evening event included a meal catered by Peggy's place with smoked pork, baked beans, and coleslaw. For dessert, an Apple Taco was available for an additional cost.

Around the parameters of the school gymnasium, there were games set up for the youngsters and some who were young at heart. The safe play areas allowed kids to roam around on their own while parents enjoyed sitting with friends, neighbors, and family, visiting and catching up with one another.

One popular attraction for youngsters was the modified version of musical chairs. The "musical" chairs were all numbered to shorten each game round. A number was drawn to choose the "leader," and all the children followed the leader around the circle of chairs, doing what the leader did.

When the music stopped, the leader drew a number out of the bowl, and the child sitting in that chair was permitted to choose a sweet treat from the table of sweet prizes, including candies, cookies, and cupcakes.

The Podbelsek family provided a lovely backdrop for taking family photos.

Capping off the night was a live auction with auctioneer Mike Maske calling in the bids for a wide variety of beautiful cakes that would have to have been delightful if they were half as tasty as they were visually impressive.
