Save Oct. 7 for Cy-Fest Family Fun at LSC-CyFair
Cy-Fest, Lone Star College-CyFair’s annual community celebration, is right around the corner so save Oct. 7 for a day of family-friendly fun.
This campus-wide Saturday event from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. features a pumpkin patch, arts and crafts, petting zoo, train rides, STEAM-related exhibitions and activities, photo booths, and food trucks, just to name a few returning favorites.
“We are excited to have added new children’s activities, such as paintball, parachutes and a foam party as well as a dance workshop,” said Celia Harper, Special Events Manager. “Among our new musical entertainers are School of Rock Cypress featuring community student musicians and Lucid Illusions including band member Jarod Lane, a 2018 graduate of LSC-CyFair.”
In fact, Lane has several connections to LSC-CyFair as he is a former Dual Credit student, Discovery College assistant, Jazz Band member and is the son of Math Professor Kim Lane.
