On Saturday, Nov. 10, Pilgrim Church in Port Charlotte held its annual Fall Festival. Many families came to enjoy the food, live music, bake sale and games. For kids, there were pony rides, bounce houses, several games and face painting.
“This is wonderful; it’s a real family affair,” said Connie Bowman, enjoying the activities with her 15-year-old granddaughter, Hayley Edwards.
