Tre Turner and James Watkins, both 11, were among the children enjoying hoola-hooping at the Roots and Wings Festival, at the Lloyd Center last Saturday. Andi Wilson, a member of HoopShine, a hoola hoping group helped lead the activities. An educational event for families, the festival included storytelling, a Native American drumming circle, a kids parade, juggling, a puppet show and a yoga demonstration. A wide variety of social service organizations and nonprofits sponsor the festival which aims to support families.
