‘Family Fun Night’ was held on April 7 at Sparta School and featured a bounce house, games, free food, cake walks, a ceremony in remembrance of the victims of child abuse and more. This year’s event, organized by the Alleghany Partnership for Children, had a circus theme.

In the photo above left, 18-month-old Camille Green of Piney Creek reaches for a golf tee to pound into a Styrofoam board as parents Amy and Michael Green watch. Also pictured (from left) are sibling Kayne Green and Matthew Reales, 2. Overseeing the event was Karen Hays of Parent to Parent.

In the photo at right, Brandon Debord, 7, (from left) Buzz Weatherman, 9, and Andre Lamb, 9 (all of Cherry Lane) attempt to catch a potato on a fork at a booth operated by Wilkes Community College’s Alleghany Campus.
