Freedom Fest 2012

Since 2008, our church has held a free annual Fourth of July event called Freedom Fest at Colt's Stadium. They have kid's games, giveaways, an entertainer (this year it was an illusionist named Curt Anderson), the presentation of the colors, the National Anthem, and a big fireworks show. Most importantly, though, they use it to share the Gospel with the city.

My family usually volunteers to help out with it, but didn't this year because we weren't sure if we were going to be able to come. So, as we were preparing to leave, I grabbed my camera thinking that I could get some pictures of Freedom Fest (which I haven't been able to do in the past). So, here's a couple of them for your enjoyment. :)

This is the field! You can see the stage to the left. That was where the
giveaway winners were drawn and announced, where the illusionist
 performed, and where the presentation of the colors and National
Anthem were held. The kid's games ran along the edges of the field.

Some volunteers preparing to launch a t-shirt.

Haha, classic bromance. This is Ethan and Chandler, one of
Ethan's friends.

My best friend, Josh, giving prize candy to a little girl for
playing the game.

Bahaha, oh, CB. My, my, my. This is CB Sutton,
our assistant youth pastor. He's crazy. x]

Gracie! She was quite proud of her face-paint.

About the time it got dark, my camera decided to die on me, so I couldn't get any pictures of Curt, the flags, or the fireworks show. But, here's a picture from the internet to add that Fourth of July touch. :)
