The Fayetteville Chapter of WoodmenLife will continue its community fellowship events in October and November. The events include something for everyone.

Saturday Night Family Life is open every other weekend, from 5 to 9 p.m. Come enjoy live music and local vendors selling food and crafts. There will also be bounce houses, a water play area and movies.
Most know WoodmenLife as an insurance broker, but the company itself encourages involvement within the areas that it serves.

“Woodmen of the World was initially started to care for those who worked in forestry and also to take care of their families if the need arose,” said Amanda Crew, who helps organize the Family Life events.

WoodmenLife continues to promote a commitment to care across all of its communities with various volunteer or socialization opportunities.
For the Fayetteville chapter, this means offering aid to those in need and constantly striving to improve the future of our local neighbors.

In today’s world of hustle and bustle, the local WoodmenLife chapter recognized a need for an event that would gather its neighbors to socialize in a relaxed and safe atmosphere.

The site is located on nearly three acres with plenty of room for children to play while parents and friends relax.
The event also offers local vendors a place to showcase their culinary expertise or artisan wares.

Admission to Saturday Night Family Life is free to the public. Invited vendors appreciate your patronage of their arts.
WoodmenLife has already had a busy start to the fall season as it makes way for a new Family Life Community Orchard. The orchard is being built by volunteers in the spot that used to house the swimming pool, a feature that was removed two years ago.

Volunteerism is a tenet of WoodmenLife and the group welcomes any and all who would love to lend a hand to this project.

“We had to close the pool during the pandemic and then it was too costly to re-open, so we are designing and building a community orchard in its place,” Crew said.

The Crew family already owns an orchard in the area, so leading this project at WoodmenLife was a natural fit for Amanda and her husband.
Saturday Night Family Life at Woodmen is located at 414 E. Mountain Drive in Fayetteville, and runs from 5 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 8 and 22, and on Nov. 5.

If your fall calendar is already booked, check back in the spring as Saturday Night Family Life returns with each new season. For more information, call 910-364-6168.
