Each year the Arlington Seventh-day Adventist Church organizes Family FunFest for its members and the community. This annual event usually takes place on the last Sunday of September from 3 to 6 pm. The afternoon is filled with fun for all ages from little kids to adults. The event takes place on the church's premises at 4409 Pleasantview Drive, Arlington, TX 76017. A suggested donation is a can of food or a dollar per person for the local food pantry which helps those in need. If you forget your donation, don't worry, just join us for the fun anyway. Here are some pictures from previous Family FunFests (2008, 2009, 2010). The next Family FunFest will take place on September 25, 2011.

In 2010, the Ninth annual Family FunFest took place on September 26 from 3 to 6 pm. Specific activities included bounce houses for all ages, train rides, horse rides, a petting zoo, a clown show, and face painting. All kinds of foods, deserts and drinks were available in the Fellowship Hall.

The event also hosted a couple of puppet shows with Hands 2 Heaven directed by Judy Anthony-Castro. A variety of booths invited people to sign up for different seminars and classes including Dollars & Sense, Divorce Care for Adults, Teens, and Kids, and other family-oriented opportunities for growth, development, and entertainment.

During every Family FunFest we proudly sponsor a blood drive with Carter Blood Care. A mobile unit was here from 3 to 6 pm for people to give blood and help save someones life. Giving blood at least once a year is a great idea. Usually you bring your picture ID with you. For more questions for how to prepare for future blood donations please visit Carter Blood Care website.

Each year Frank Reed with KLTY 94.9, the most listened-to Christian radio station in the nation, is our special guest broadcasting live from our location during Family FunFest. He usually brings along lots of prizes and laughter. Be sure to come by and meet Frank at Family Funfest in 2011.
