Children made their way through various obstacle courses at Cedar Park Heights.

The fun went on for three hours from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

A larger crowd was expected this time around compared to last year.

Pugsley hopes to have the event again next year.

“It doesn’t matter if you give like $5, $1 as long as you give back and you help out the community,” Pugsley said. “It always just makes you feel good.”
