Adamsville Festival Activities November 10
A “family and neighborhood club” theme brought business, Lions club members and others to have a ball. The very successful Adamsville Festival held last Saturday at the Adamsville Recreation Center. It entertained families with “Something For Everyone”
Christian oriented dance groups, African dancers, the Darnell Dancing Divas and the Alpha Frat “STEP” group among others thrilled the crowds. A bake off with cakes and pies was held.
Youngsters got faces painted and imaginations stirred by story tellers. Oldsters saw an Antique Car show and a Motorcycle show in the parking lot. Popcorn, cotton candy, hot dogs, fish and barbecue was had by the hungry. Educational medical booths were set up for information on diseases from AIDS to Vision care.

ABHCC members were present in force.
