Fun for all at the Community Harvest Festival. 10-30-2013

The 1st Annual High Point Harvest Festival
The smell of Caramel Apples, Popcorn and Candy Corn added to the festive aura on October 30th, 2013. To celebrate the inaugural installment of the High Point Harvest Festival, Y.E.L.S and The Family Center pulled out all the stops. With an estimated 60 people in attendance, the High Point Center provided a multitude of activities for youth and adults alike. Basketball shoot-outs for candy and pride, bean bag tosses for the same. There even was a Oreo-eating competition, along with face paining, and of course, a Caramel Apple station with all of the toppings. While the youth were definitely preoccupied with all of the day's action, parents and other adult figures had the opportunity to learn more about the essential services at the High Point Community Center. The Harvest Festival was definitely a win for all, and a fantastic addition to the wide range of events presented by High Point.
