Former Cincinnati Bengals running back, Ickey Woods will also attend Fall Fest to meet with fans and raise awareness for his charity, the Jovante Woods Foundation for Asthma Research. The Foundation is in honor of Woods’ son, who passed away following a severe asthma attack in 2010.

Woods is not only known for his talents on the football field, but for his famous celebratory dance move known as “the Ickey Shuffle”.

There is no entrance fee to the festival and all musical entertainment is free of charge. The festival will wrap up tomorrow night.
