Riley Creek Festival planning underway for April
Bluffton University will host the annual Riley Creek Festival from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 16, in the Sommer Center.
Open to the public, the event is free except for lunch, which costs $9 for community members.
The festival will feature family-friendly inflatables, face painting, music, games and other activities, concluding with the traditional rubber duck race on Riley Creek. Rubber ducks will be sold for $1 each, with proceeds to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Duck race winners will receive prizes donated by local businesses.
Riley Creek Festival concludes the university’s Lil’ Sibs weekend. A full schedule of events can be found at http://www.bluffton.edu/studentlife/involvement/events/rcf.html
