Parkview YMCA to host Fall Festival October 24

The Parkview Huntington Family YMCA will be offering their free annual Fall Festival on Saturday, October 24, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the YMCA. The annual YMCA and Huntington-community event will feature free family-friendly fall-themed activities, obstacle courses, carnival games, fall arts and crafts and healthy snacks at the YMCA facility.

Huntington area agencies and businesses will be on-hand to provide the kid-friendly activities and snacks. Attendees are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes.

The YMCA will feature a membership special all day for those interested in joining the YMCA. Those who join will save $75 off the typical enrollment fee as the joiner’s fee will be waived all day on October 24.

Throughout the event, food trucks will also be onsite for those who would like to purchase a drink, heartier snack or meal. Area food trucks scheduled to be at the YMCA include: JB’s Cuisine Machine, BrisketKase BBQ and Grace’s Roasted Bean Coffee Trailer.

The Huntington County Humane Society will be onsite with puppies and kittens available for adoption. Fall Festival attendees can visit with the animals and begin the adoption process to adopt their next furr-ever friend, if interested. Families are also encouraged to bring pet supplies to help support the important work of the Huntington Humane Society. If you’d like specific details of the supply needs, a wish list of the Humane Society can be found on their website: huntingtonhumane.org. All those who contribute to the pet supply drive will be entered to win a fun prize, courtesy of the YMCA.

The Parkview Huntington Family YMCA’s Fall Festival will take place both inside and outside at their facility located at 1160 W 500 N, Huntington. In the case of inclement weather, all activities (except the food trucks) will be moved inside.
