VALDOSTA — With a theme of “Walk Against Violence,” Sharper Fest 2010 is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 1.

In addition to an anti-violence message, the day promises “the largest kids’ festival in the South,” with free bounce houses and slide rides throughout the day, says organizer Dexter Sharper. Participants can also expect characters, face-painting and children’s train rides.

They will also find a “King of the Grill” contest, a three-on-three basketball tournament, a bike show and live entertainment.

Carnival foods will be available: funnel cakes, nachos, sno-cones, shaved ice, candy apples, cotton candy, popcorn, etc.

Vendors will also have custom and designer products for sale.
