26th Park Fest brings families to downtown Iowa Park
IOWA PARK (KFDX/KJTL) — Park Avenue in Iowa Park is now clear, after being blocked for much of the day during the town's annual Park Fest.
The yearly event has brought families to downtown's heart for 26 years. On one end of the street, there was a bustling car show, even bigger than last year, and a dedicated food area on the other.
The whole festival area was filled with families. Local vendors were able to sell their goods, while non-profits could raise money for their causes. Some booths were even set up to support Iowa Park youth sports teams, which Chamber of Commerce Vice President Shelby Womack said further deepens the ties between Iowa Park and its athletics.
'It teaches their young kids a lot of responsibility of how to talk with folks in the public and, you know, how to create an income for their organization,' Womack said. 'So, we're excited that they have a lot of involvement within the Park Fest and Whoop-T-Do events we put on.'
The Iowa Park Chamber of Commerce said they usually sit at around 80 to 90 vendors for Park Fest. In the future, though, the chamber hopes to grow the event past Park Avenue with over 100 vendors and an even bigger car show.
