The Soup Fest games had a crowd of parents and children lined up at the ticket table over 20 minutes before they opened. Nearly 500 people crowded the Houston Christian School for the event, enjoying close to 20 different kinds of soup with buns, goodies for desert, and all kids of games to finish off the evening.
