37th Annual Fall Festival
Sunland Center celebrated its 37th Annual Fall Festival on October 31, and enjoyed a record crowd. One of the largest festivals on record, an estimated 6,000+ visitors from Jackson County and surrounding communities converged at the beautiful Sunland Environmental Park to enjoy the day’s festivities. The weather could not have been more perfect with a brisk, cool morning, beautiful blue skies and the warmth of the afternoon sun. Superintendent Geri Williams and the Sunland staff were especially pleased at the turnout. Tom Rankin, Deputy Director of Operations for the Agency for Persons with Disabilities commented, “This crowd is larger than last years. This is fantastic!“
The origins of the festival began 37 years ago as an opportunity to bring Sunland’s residents and their families and friends together for a time of fellowship and fun-filled activities. Over the years, the event began to grow, and with support from the local community it has become one of the largest festivals in Jackson County.
