Holts Summit Church to host free Family Fun Day

The Cedar Grove Baptist Church in Holts Summit has few child attendees, but it still wants to show children a good time during its annual Family Fun Day, which will take place 3-6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 22.

"This is at least our eighth year," said Joycelyn Dowdy, a member of the group that organizes the event. "We do it for the community and try to have something different each year."

This year, that "something different" is four horses that will be available for children to ride and a wagon pulled by mules. Other activities will include hair coloring, face painting, LEGOs, a double-lane slide and more. In past years, the church has put on a petting zoo and pony rides.

Free food will also be available. Hot dogs, chips, drinks and snow cones will be served.

"We love having them [families] and showing them a good time," Dowdy said.

Cedar Grove Baptist Church is located on the east access road off Highway 54, near the J&K Plaza in Holts Summit. The event is free and open to the public.
