Fun Fest 2013

Fun Fest 2013 kicked off last Friday with the time-honored Mardi Gras bash followed by the Fun Fest Parade. There, amongst the procession of marching bands and floats, was Young Life Kingsport celebrating community and fellowship in the Parade. Before a street audience of smiling faces, Young Life Kingsport proudly journeyed the route through downtown Kingsport.

Many students and leaders traveled the parade route by foot, flaunting a Young Life banner and handing spectators fliers. The Young Life float was decked out with an enormous 'YL'- and was fully loaded with students from Sullivan North, Sullivan South, Dobyns-Bennett and Holston Middle schools. Without a doubt, Young Life Kingsport was represented in an awesome way.

Fun Fest is a major, region-wide event, and Young Life Kingsport hoped to draw attention to their mission. Staff and leaders feel participation in the Parade was a huge success, and plan to make involvement in the Fun Fest an annual event.

The Fun Fest ends in two days- on Saturday, July 20.
