The Fall Festival is renowned for its amazing food choices! Lunch, consisting of a variety of local and ethnic food vendors is available at 11:00 a.m. at several local merchants and street vendors. Better get there early, this scrumptious food never seems to last very long, with the appetites that have been building up all through the morning!

An early 2 o'clock afternoon parade is the kick-off for the home-coming festivities. Parade entries from each high school grade, school and marching bands from throughout the area, floats and other parade entries by merchants, businesses, individuals and community groups. Following the parade is the auction for High School Juniors, who trade a day of labor to the highest bidder for their services. Funds from this auction go towards the Junior-Senior Prom held each spring.

A money-pit at 2:45 for the children is always a big attraction. Pre-school and school aged children search for coins and other treasures in a sand pile brought in by the Garden County Health Services for this special occasion
