Kids enjoyed painting pumpkins at the 1st annual Fall Family Fun Fest. |
The YMCA hosted a full array of games and goodies for the children. |
The American Tobacco Campus hosted its first annual Fall Family Fun Fest on Saturday, October 29, 2005, from noon to 5pm in the outdoor Amphitheatre. Entertainment included the sounds of Latin Jazz by Carnavalito, with additional musical performances by the Durham Children’s Choir and the Durham School of the Arts Steel Drums.
The YMCA provided tricks, treats and games for kids including pumpkin painting, face painting and a moon bounce. American Tobacco Campus restaurants, Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers, The Symposium Café and Tyler’s Restaurant and Taproom, participated by offering Oktoberfest style food, soups, sandwiches, pizza and assorted beverages to those families attending the event.
Music of all kinds entertained the crowd. |
Lions and tigers and bears…oh my! |
Kids were jumping for joy over the YMCA games. |
Earlier in the day, the American Tobacco Campus hosted Habitat for Humanity of Durham’s Halloween 100 Bike Ride. A total of 586 bike riders participated in the 50k/100k race which included scenic routes through Durham County and Hillsborough. Proceeds from the race will go towards sponsoring the construction of a home in Habitat’s E. Ellerbee Street neighborhood.

American Tobacco looks forward to next year’s Fall Family Fun Fest which will have a “Retro” theme. We’ll have entertainment dating back to the 60’s!
