🎉 Fall Fest is almost here! 🎉
Check out the vendor map for this weekend’s celebration! They’ve even added a few more booths since printing — including the bike shop from Montezuma 🚲 and fresh produce from our community raised beds. 🥕🍅
✨ Here’s what to look for:
🍔 Food trucks, seating, & cornhole - all set up on Waterman Avenue next to Bri’s Burritos!
🎈 Bouncy houses - right beside Cottonwood Coffeehouse (thanks to Golden Plains Credit Union for sponsoring the fun!)
🚜 Hayrides - happening over at Prairie Winds Construction!

A huge thank you to our incredible community sponsors and helpers:
💛 Golden Plains Credit Union - sponsoring the bouncy houses.
🪑 The Agency - providing tables & chairs for our seating area.
🚧 Prairie Winds Construction - Providing hay rides.
🏬 City of Lakin - Blocking Streets, and donating food truck fees.
🎨 Lakin High School – helping with cross guards, face painting, and maybe even keeping an eye on those bouncy houses!

They’ve been working hard alongside Bri’s Burritos to make this year’s Fall Fest one to remember — and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you! 🍁🎶👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
