 The Altoona Family Fun Fest is a daylong event on July 11, 2015 at the Heritage Civic Plaza; starting at 7:30 am until 6 pm.   Volunteers are needed to make this event happen.  The event was previously known as the Altoona Bike Fest but this year the event is designed to promote family and healthy living; bringing the community together.   Proceeds will go to the Altoona Parks and Trails.   Proceeds from our 2015 event will be designated to a Bike Fix-It Station that will be placed along the trail just west of the Altoona Campus.

 The planning is in the initial stages and volunteers are needed now and on the day of event.  We need volunteers that are willing to provide help over the next couple of months, some for just a couple weeks and others for just the event day.  All skill sets are required from handing out flyers to maintaining the event’s Face book page.

 Please contact Vern Willey at vwilley@altoona-iowa.com or call 967-5136 if you are interested in helping or you have questions on how to be a sponsor or vendor.
