Get Ready for Alpharetta Rotary FunFest 2008
Make plans to attend the 7th annual Alpharetta Rotary FunFest, set for September 20, 2008, from 11 AM-6 PM at North Point Center East. Plenty of food in the Cuisine Scene, a Kids Fun Zone, arts and crafts area and a car show mean there's something for the whole family.
Car buffs can explore automobiles of every model and make on display at Saturday's car show. For a $25 charitable donation, enthusiasts are invited to exhibit their vehicle. Prizes will be awarded.
FunFest Car Show 2007
The Kid's Fun Zone will include a petting zoo, pony rides, train rides, giant slides, rock climbing wall, and plenty of exciting activities for the youngsters, including karate exhibitions. Other activities include: music and shows featuring live entertainment throughout the day; dozens of restaurants - including The Counter, Atlantic Seafood Company, Original Pancake House, Shane's Rib Shack, Sogno Gelato, and more - will offer a variety of food options in the Cuisine Scene; a Business Boulevard that resembles a one-day outdoor shopping mall; and, an arts and crafts area with tons of exhibitors, making this a fun family event not to be missed.
FunFest Kids Zone 2007
The GACHIP program will be on hand to help parents and guardians better understand how they can protect their children. At no charge, a child's family will receive on a small computer disk: full-color digital photographs showing various poses of the child; a complete set of digital fingerprints; a list of the child's distinguished features and characteristic; and a laminated ID card with the photo and information. All of the identifying information collected about the child at the event is given to the child's family and only the permission slip signed by the guardian prior to participation is retained by the program. All other data is permanently erased. This free GA CHIP program opportunity is offered by the Alpharetta Public Safety Foundation and the Freemasons of Georgia. For more information about the program, visit www.gachip.org.
