Fall Fun Fest this Sunday at Old Soldiers Home: food trucks, music, antique cars, kids’ games, bourbon tasting, beer and more

This sounds like an awesome event for adults and kids alike: the Friends of the Soldiers Home have their annual Fall Fun Fest this Sunday, Oct. 1 at the Soldiers Home (just east of Park View.) It runs from 9am-5pm with all kinds of events, vendors, crafts and performances, including a military drill team, antique cars, and more.

Personally I’m interested in the bourbon tasting and beer. There are also lots of kids events like games, a petting zoo, a pumpkin patch, moon bounce and others.

They’re also looking for volunteers, so if you want to help out and meet some neighbors, go here!

If you haven’t been, the Old Soldiers Home (technically the Armed Forces Retirement Home) is a really nice campus with lots of grass, rolling hills and trees. The Friends of the Soldiers Home hosts events for the public and also does a lot with the retirees at the home.
