<\/p>\nFall in Lubbock means cooler weather, football, pumpkin-flavored everything and finally being able to walk from your car to a building without feeling like you’re being roasted.<\/p>\n
It also means the return of a longtime local tradition.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Children\u2019s Home of Lubbock<\/a> is hosting its 37th Annual Lubbock Fall Festival<\/a> on Saturday, October 3rd, and once again, the entire community is invited.<\/p>\n Even better? Admission is completely free!<\/p>\n The Lubbock Fall Festival runs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, October 3rd, on the Children\u2019s Home of Lubbock campus at 4404 Idalou Road.<\/p>\n The family-friendly event has been bringing people together for nearly four decades, and organizers have packed this year’s festival with plenty to do.<\/p>\n READ MORE: The Good Feet Store Is Now Open at Kingsgate Center in Lubbock<\/a><\/p>\n You’ll find local vendors selling crafts and other goods, a bake sale loaded with homemade treats, food trucks, kids’ games, inflatables and a silent auction featuring unique items and experiences.<\/p>\n Basically, bring the kids hungry and give yourself enough time to browse.<\/p>\n The Festival Helps Lubbock Kids, Too<\/p>\n Of course, there’s a much bigger reason behind all the fun.<\/p>\n Proceeds from the silent auction and bake sale directly benefit the Children\u2019s Home of Lubbock and its work with children in need.<\/p>\n Chief Development Officer Tiffany Schuler said,<\/p>\n Fall Festival is one of those traditions that really shows what the Lubbock community is all about. We get to welcome families onto our campus for a fun day together while also giving them a glimpse into the mission they help make possible.<\/p>\n And that mission has been part of Lubbock for a very long time.<\/p>\n The Children\u2019s Home of Lubbock has been serving children and families since 1954.<\/p>\n Over those years, the organization says it has helped more than 7,500 children through services including on-campus foster care, counseling, adoption and independent-living support.<\/p>\n The Christ-centered nonprofit works with children who have experienced abuse, neglect or trauma, with a mission of providing them with hope, healing and a safe, nurturing environment.<\/p>\n So while buying something from the bake sale might seem like a pretty small contribution, all those brownies and cookies add up.<\/p>\n Besides, I don’t need much convincing when supporting a good cause involves baked goods.<\/p>\n The Children\u2019s Home says vendor booths and sponsorship opportunities are still available for this year’s event.<\/p>\n Businesses and organizations interested in participating can contact the Children’s Home development team at development@childshome.org<\/a> or visit LubbockFallFestival.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0Does the Lubbock County Jail Have to Be Air Conditioned?
