Bright sunny skies and a light breeze and plenty of festivities made the Fall Festival at Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary a popular destination Friday. Hundreds turned out for hay rides, children oriented programs and live music by the Flying Elbows. Though temperatures hovered around freezing, the spirit was warm and bright.
