It’s not every day you get 1,200 people in the same place at
the same time. But that’s exactly what
happened on October 31st! StreetFest
was a collaborative effort between Camp War Eagle 365 and Mosaic Church of
Fellowship Bible Church in Rogers. In the past, the event has taken place on
the Fellowship campus, but was relocated to the Jones Center in Springdale this
year, making use of the excellent partnership between CWE365 and the Jones
Center. “Turning the silly strategic,”
was the phrase coined to cast the vision of the event. This means the yearly event exists to using
silly, wholesome fun as a way to bless, serve and provide a safe environment of
fun for local families.
Our goal was to use the incredible space that is the Jones
Center to provide a safe, family friendly, and most importantly, FUN atmosphere
for the community on the night of Halloween!
Music, flash mobs, inflatables, face painting, hot dogs and insane
amounts of candy were only a few of the things contained in great evening. In
the opinions of those in attendance, the goal was met without a doubt.
Arianna, a Springdale high school student mentioned, “My little brother said it was his favorite Halloween yet. He had so much fun and got so much candy!” Blanca, a member of Mosaic church recounted, “I never realized how much the Jones Center could be used to meet the needs of the community in Springdale.”
We believe our efforts to serve and provide for our
Northwest Arkansas communities will continue to be blessed as they were on
Halloween. Current partnerships with the Jones Center are proof of that. We are
grateful for opportunities to share hope and provision with our neighbors.
