2018 Community Family Fest Set for Muskegon Lake Shoreline June 2

Community Family Fest

The Third Annual MCC Community Family Fest returns to the Muskegon Lake shoreline on Saturday, June 2, 2018 when residents of all ages can enjoy fun and educational activities. The event, which is free and open to the public, runs from noon to 3 p.m. at the MCC Lakeshore Fitness Center, 900 W. Western Ave., in Muskegon.

“Community is our middle name and we are proud to say it!” explained Trynette Lottie-Harps, dean of community outreach at the college. “We have received so much support throughout the years. What better way to show our gratitude than with Community Family Fest.”

“This is an opportunity for families to come and enjoy games, arts and crafts, see live demonstrations, receive free giveaways, win prizes, eat great food and participate in group activities for the whole family.  Thanking the members of our servicing communities with this celebration is the least we can do.  We’re grateful for the support we get each year and appreciate our students and community.”

Among the fun activities scheduled for the youngsters are bouncy houses, train rides, face painting, make-and-take crafts, games, chalk art, karate demonstrations, gaga ball, and much more.

The whole family can participate in fitness center tours, obstacle courses, family-friendly Pilates and Zumba exercises, a Fit Walk, fowling – which combines football and bowling, cardio-pound drumming, hula hoops, fun photos, a human knot, onsite body scans, soccer, and meet with Jay, the MCC Jayhawk mascot. Visitors can visit the various booths for a chance to win prizes.

There will be a picnic with free food and music. A MCC motor coach will transport visitors to the college’s new Sturrus Technology Center to experience the Lakeshore Fab Lab Open House.
