GROVES — Colorful carnival rides lit up Lion’s Park Thursday night during the first night of the Groves Pecan Festival.
Over near a food area Michelle Han bought some fries and snacks for her sons, Colin and Corey.
“We come here every year, even if it’s raining. We run through the rain,” Han said, adding the family attends each day during the festival. “We’ve been coming ever since we moved here in 2010 from California.”
Han explained the boys had already ridden some rides and their favorite was the bumper cars.
