Community members enjoy games and food

HOUGHTON -- The city of Houghton hosted a community family fun day Thursday afternoon complete with games, prizes and even a donut eating competition.  There was also face painting and free balloons for all of the kids who came out to the City Center.

The Houghton Police Department helped out with fingerprinting while the City Fire Department gave away plastic helmets.

Sigma Tau Gamma fraternity brothers and other volunteers handed out hot dogs and ran the games.

"I've never done the dart game before," said eight-year-old Gabrielle Roberts.  "I really liked it, and I just kept on doing it.  I lost track of how many times, probably like 13."

Even McGruff joined the fun, saying hi to all the kids and cheering them on as they tried to win prizes.
