The 1st Annual Glen Lake Fall Flannel Festival prep is underway! The pumpkins and apples have been delivered! With all the activities lined up, it's sure to be a hit! Touch a truck and apple cider pressing are such fun hands-on experiences, and who doesn't love a good pie-eating contest? Giant Jenga, corn hole and sack races will provide lots of outdoor entertainment! Make sure to check out the sheep herding demonstration by Tall Cotton Dogs, the local fire department trucks and gear and Bear Force One with the National Park Service. But that's not all! Inside the school, there will be a book walk, face painting and bounce houses! With all the fun activities planned, let's not forget the delicious food - a pig roast with delicious sides and donuts! Pumpkins and Mums will also be for sale! The Glen Lake Marching Band will be providing music throughout the event! It sounds like a perfect start to the Fall Season. We hope to see you there - Saturday, September 28th, from 11am-3pm at Glen Lake School!
