There is always something fun to do in the Jackson Metro area, especially during the holiday season. This weekend I took the grandkids to St. Marks UMC Fall Festival, and there were games for both the younger set as well as the older kids.

Costumes were optional, although most children took the opportunity to dress as their favorite cartoon character or super hero.

There were simple, easy games for the under 4 set, ranging from "Go Fishing", Bowling, Bean Toss, and Golf, to bull riding and Gladiator jousting for the older children. And there were space jumps for all ages. Of course, there were plenty of sugary sweets to go around, including cotton candy, ice cream, and cupcakes.
