ROCHELLE — The smiles on the faces of the Mooseheart kids said it all when they visited during last weekend’s Lincoln Highway Heritage Festival.
Nearly 80 Mooseheart residents and their house parents spent their Sunday in Rochelle at the festival and also participated in the parade.
“What an awesome day. Thank you to everyone that helped make it happen including the carnival company who let the kids ride all afternoon,” Pat Maronde said. “The haunted room was outstanding as usual, and everyone that went through loved it.”
The Rochelle Moose has been hosting the annual excursion for about six years, with this year’s attendance hitting record numbers. A & A Amusements supplied the one-day wristbands to the Mooseheart guests. Through fundraising the Moose members provided money for everyone to spend on food and games.
For the youngsters, it was a day of fun and excitement.
