A Chilly but Fun Fall Festival
 More than 600 members of our community enjoyed a day in the great outdoors on Saturday, October 6, despite flurries in the morning and chilly breezes throughout the day.
Some of the ways Fall Festival attendees stayed warm included: moving and grooving with Kidsdance; huddling together on horse-drawn wagon rides from Cedar River Horse Logging; and scaling the climbing wall.
 Our deepest gratitude to our generous sponsors for underwriting 100 percent of the costs for this event: Presenting Sponsor: The Mosaic Company; Main Stage Sponsor: McGough Construction; Market Sponsors: Anchor Bank and FOSS Swim School; Activity Sponsors: Peoples Organic Café, South Lake Pediatrics and Wayzata Children's Clinic.
