Local Youth Involvement:In past years, we have had the involvement of over 300 local Fend Bend and HISD high school students, and are looking forward to making that number grow. We are also expanding our efforts by integrating art into this year’s event. Local high students will be allowed to showcase their art during the event.
Awareness/Film:The festival's newest addition to this year’s event is film. In Lost Creek Park, there will be a Drive-In that will serve as a viewing area for films. This will showcase a line up of documentaries, family films, classics, as well as, a local film competition that will be judged by the event attendees. The screen will also be a way for local businesses to promote their business, in conjunction with a great cause.
