Autumn Moon Festival unfolds Friday night

Warwick - The Hudson Valley chapter of Families with Children from China will celebrate its Autumn Moon Festival on Friday, Sept. 16, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at St. Stephen's school cafeteria on Sanford Road in Warwick. The evening is designed to allow children and their parents to connect and socialize. It's also meant to raise funds for those children not yet adopted. Between 8 and 8:30 p.m. there also will be a lantern walk and storytelling. The cost is $6 per person; children under four are free. Guests are asked to bring a dish to share for a potluck dinner. Guests also are asked to contribute an item to the basket that will be raffled at the Chinese New Year celebration.
