There were numerous activities available for kids, including trampoline jumping, inflatable slides and rock climbing.

The proceeds from the festival go toward the Houston Volunteer Fire Department and a lot of time went into planning the event.

“The Houston Fire Department is a small fire department,” said firefighter Chad Roberts. “We got about 26 to 30 members. We couldn’t all do it ourselves. We’ve got a bunch of outside help.”

The event wrapped up at 5 p.m. on Sunday.
