Ben Smiles & Chapelstreet Church partner for Abilities Event

This June 8th special festival will celebrate kids with special or additional needs.

Ben Smiles Memorial Foundation (www.BenSmiles.org) and Chapelstreet Church (www.Chapelstreet.church) have joined forces this year to sponsor the 5th Annual Abilities Celebration on June 8th. It'll be a fun night designed especially for kids with various diagnoses.

There will be carnival games, local author appearances, petting zoo, train rides, various demonstrations, vendors, food, snacks, sensory and craft stations, magic show, face painting, and much more.

In prior years, the special needs festival was part of the Festival of the Fox weekend in St Charles. This year, it will be held at 3435 Keslinger Road campus of Chapelstreet Church in Geneva. It's a great event and we hope to have a strong turnout.
