October Festival- It's held every year in Anderson, IN. I volunteered at the arts and crafts table in the children's section. The theme that year was German culture. I helped the kids make bird feeders and special German necklaces. The helpers had to cut all the pieces for both projects so when the kids came to our booth all they had to do was choose and create. Our table had well over 100 kids that day. (1 hour)
