The Rockaway Music and Arts Council (RMAC) hosted its annual Fall Festival at Riis Park last weekend. The two-day event drew nearly 10,000 people this year with sunny skies and warm temperatures. Kids had their choice of activities such as sand art, face painting, pony rides and crafts. Adults had fine art and beautiful crafts to browse and buy, and for both groups there was music and lots of food. This young lady (right) was one of the hundreds who had their faces painted.
