Preparations are underway for this years Fall Festival and we are looking forward to your participation. The festival this year will be held October 5th and 6th. Hours for Saturday Oct. 5th and Sunday Oct. 6th are 10:00 A.M to 6:00 P.M. As in previous years there will be no admission charge to the public. We hope this will encourage festival attendees to spend more money on the fine crafts and food.

The festival is Hancock Countys largest event, and we hope the turn out will be as good as or better than last year. We will also have the Tractor Parade again this year.

That being said you have the option of setting up on Friday night if you choose to set up on Friday you need to call for the time you can come on the festival site. If you set up on Saturday you must remove your vehicle from the grounds no later than 9:30 A.M so we can prepare the festival grounds for the public. You will and enter at the top gate on Newmans Ridge Rd exit the lower gate this hopefully will make it easier to get in and out of the festival site. After 9:30 each morning NO vehicle will be permitted on the festival grounds to ensure the safety of everyone. NO VENDORS will be permitted to park their car on festival site not even with handicap tags or stickers. You will be allowed to bring your vehicle back onto the festival site after 6:00 P.M on Saturday and 6:00 P.M on Sunday.
