Harvest Festival and Resource Fair

The FACT Family Center held a Harvest Festival and Resource Fair on Saturday, October 3, 2009, from 10am - 2pm, at the Portland Expo Center.  This free  event for families was a great opportunity to connect with numerous organizations, agencies, and other resources who support families and children who experience disability.  The family friendly event featured a pumpkin patch, kids games, face painting, raffle, cakewalk, and free fall family photo opportunity.  There were pumpkins for everyone to take home!
