On Thursday, Oct. 26, Bright Futures Enrichment Center in Mocksville hosted its first Fall Fest.

The festival was open to the community and included, a bouncy house, face painting, carnival games, a showing of Hocus Pocus 2 on an inflatable projection screen, food, music, and a Trunk or Treat.

It was the brainchild of Tonika Covington, director.

“The event was the first of its kind,” she said. “The festival was filled with children and laughter. It was so wonderful to watch volunteers and members of the community come together to make the festival enjoyable for the children.

“The creativity shown during the Trunk or Treat was phenomenal. The center looks forward to having more people in attendance during next year.”

Bright Futures is a child care facility on 184 Council St.

“Be on the lookout for Bright Futures Enrichment Center to be a part of many other events within the community this year and next,” Covington said.
