Fall is in the air—apple cider, pumpkins and a cool breeze remind us summer is long gone, but the beauty of fall is here. Creekside Ministries located at 116th and Hague Road in Fishers wants to celebrate the autumn season with residents in the area. They’re hosting the Creekside Fall Fest on Oct. 10 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. The event is just one part of their annual anniversary celebration for CM.
“Every year we celebrate our anniversary of when we moved to Fishers. This year we wanted to take it up a notch and include the community so we thought we would throw this Fall Fest, and invite everyone,” said Jennifer Azzato, Senior Leader at CM.
Jennifer’s parents, Ron and Terri Neal, brought Creekside from Detroit to Fishers.
The event will offer music, arts and crafts, food trucks, homemade food items for purchase, a bounce house for kids, face painting, pumpkin painting and more. There is even an interactive animal show. Kids can touch different kinds of animals they might not normally see.
While the event is free to attend guests are encouraged to bring cash to purchase items. Vendors will be on hand selling candles, jewelry, clothing, beauty products and art.
“It’s just going to be a fun day for family, community and fun. We were thinking of an old school type carnival feel,” said Azzato.
There will be old-fashioned games for including nine square, goldfish pong, bobbing for apples and a cake walk game. There will even be an opportunity for guests to try their hand throwing pottery. There will also be something special for visitors from CM.
“We will be giving out free hot cider and popcorn. So, that’s our thanks to the city, and our gift to everyone,” said Azzato.
Cm will be offering other events during their four day anniversary celebration. For more information, visit facebook.com/creeksideministries.
