HIP Fest was one of the most affordable, fun, family-friendly events ever! On September 28th, the Lake City Community Center was bursting with laughter and music from HIP Fest. This is Jane Stauss with the inside scoop on HIP Fest!scenes from HIP Fest 2014      We had this wonderful event at the end of a great summer of lunches. Summer meals is a great program in my opinion because it is fun and, well, it’s free food! Who is going to complain about that? It’s fabulous, free food. And then to wrap that all up with the HIP Fest fundraiser was amazing!

     Now we are getting into the good stuff: HIP Fest took a whole lot of volunteers (including staff from my orthodontist’s office, North Seattle Orthodontics!) to pull off. We had things to do for every age including a raffle, a silent auction, and carnival games including Rope the Bull, bowling, and much more! A special shout out to John Rogers Elementary for donating the carnival games.

     The food was amazing. We had pulled pork sandwiches and, for vegetarians, there was vegetarian chili.  And don’t forget sweet potato fries for everyone. So I guess that by far, this was one of the most exciting days HIP has ever seen!
