Popcorn Festival
It’s here! This Saturday, Sept. 9, we’ll be at the Popcorn Festival in downtown Valparaiso sharing God’s love with kids and adults.
Before the parade, we’ll be handing out almost 3,000 bottles of bubble soap to kids along the parade route. It’s fun, and it gives them something to do while they wait.
All day, we’ll be offering free gifts & games for kids at our kids tent. (It’s in the section with all the other kid-oriented booths at the corner of Lincolnway and Lafayette St. You can’t miss it.) While other people sell things to kids as a fundraiser for their group or organization, we want to show them that God’s love is free. Plus it’s just more fun that way, you don’t have to mess with making change, etc., etc….
You can help support these free offerings by stopping by our food booth on Michigan Ave., just north of Indiana Ave. We’ll be selling popcorn balls, hot dogs, and cold water, all for $1. And I think we’re selling polish sausages for $2. You’ll have to stop by to find out for sure.
All in all, it’s a fun day! If you’re out there, stop by and say hello!
(And if you’d like to help staff one of these activities, just let us know.)
