What do food trucks, plein air painting, a rock-climbing wall and pumpkin painting have in common?  Those are some of the activities scheduled for O’Fallon’s “RSC Family Fun Fair & Art Expo” on Saturday, September 28.

Everyone is invited to the Renaud Spirit Center’s free “RSC Family Fun Fair & Art Expo” for a day of exercise, loads of kids’ activities, live acoustic music, original art sold by the artists, food trucks, beverages for sale, and raffles, giveaways and more.

“With expanded entertainment, the addition of food trucks and a beer and wine garden, this year’s event will be a big step forward for us,” said Darren Granaas, O’Fallon’s Cultural Arts Coordinator.
