The fall weather is creating a perfect backdrop to enjoy the outdoors, and FOX 50 is inviting Triangle families to join them in downtown Durham for a day of fun this Saturday, October 3, 2009.
The first annual FOX 50 Family Fest will take place at American Tobacco. The folks at FOX 50 are hoping it will become an annual tradition. The celebration runs from noon until 5pm.
“We thought this would be great for the community, pulling people together and celebrating families,” said FOX 50 Non-Traditional Revenue Manager Sylvia Lanier of the free event. “With the economy the way it is, we wanted an even that would be free and fun. It’s tough for people to find things to do that are free.”
The FOX 50 Family Fun Fest is in keeping with Capitol Broadcasting Company’s tradition of giving back.
The celebration will include a bevy of fun, family-friendly activities including:
- See a real fire truck, visit the Durham Fire Department’s “Smoke House” and learn what to do during a fire

- Enjoy free music for the kids from Sandbox, dance to the Latin rhythms of Carnavilito, jam out with Sanity Station and groove with the legendary blues guitarist Cool John Ferguson
