Students at Milan High School got a sneak peak at what can be expected at this Sunday's City Fest. 
 
The group, Extreme Action Sports Team and Christian ministry, Real Encounters performed stunts. In addition to their tricks, they delivered some treats, giving advice to students, telling them to block out bad influences, such as alcohol and drugs.  The group will be performing this weekend.
 
 "It's going to be this, times 100!," said Ken Bowman, an organizer with Milan City Fest. "They're going to be doing motocross jumps, freestyle BMX back flips, so their role in this is to allow kids to come in that may not go to church, but they'll come to an event like this."      

City Fest is this Sunday afternoon, November 1 at Milan City Park. The gates will open at 1:30 and the festivities, which will include food and music, kicks off at 2.
