Activities - What to Do at FireFest NW |
Attending FireFest NW, there are other activities to engage in beyond listening to live Christian music.
- Workshops (see list below)
- Inspirational Speakers
- Arts and Crafts
- Children's Games and Activities
- Walk the Fairground's scenic pathway
Some years, we have the following (i.e. not every year)
- Movie Night
- Corn Hole Competition
- Play board games in the main hall
- Snow Cones (thanks to Phil Sutton of Victory Band)
- Horse and Buggy Ride around the Fairgrounds
- County Fair Leftovers (if you're lucky, you might catch someone practicing their axe throwing in the paddock)
Idea: Bring your own kayak, canoe, or paddle board (and life vests!), then enjoy the quiet waters of Rock Cove just adjacent to the Fairgrounds. By all means, plan some breaks for yourself! This setting is perfect for reading a book, taking time to pray and meditate, journaling, or writing a friend or family member (one of our perennial vendors usually has artistic cards for sale in the main hall).
