Proceeds from the fun fest will be going toward the community spirit funds. Holmes said that even though the proceeds will be benefiting the community spirit fund, the fun fest is not about making a profit.

“The reason for having this event is so that people in the community will have something to do Friday evening.” Holmes said.
