IT’S FALL FESTIVAL TIME This Friday, Saturday and Sunday is Fall Festival Time in Walkerton. This now annual event was started to culminate the big “WIN” fund raising campaign several years ago and has become an annual part of the local scene on its own. It is sponsored by the Walkerton Chamber of Commerce, but once again, this program is successful and the responsibility of a few hard working individuals who donate their time so freely. There will be many booths . . . arts, crafts and especially food, in the downtown area for most of these three days. In addition, other activities have been planned to give to all, something to look forward to at least on one or more of the days. Fall Festivals and Octoberfests (or whatever people want to call them) are becoming much more popular in Indiana. It is kind of a last fling before the always changing Indiana weather usually gets tougher on man and beast. There have been weather interuptions before, but if everything goes well, there is very little time of the year when more pleasant weather is enjoyed than the fall weather in Indiana. If this ingredient is present, it surely promises to be another highly successful Fall Festival. Through the efforts of a few, this three-day event will unfold Friday morning. Plan now to spend a little time at the “Great Pumpkin Festival’’ (sometimes known as the Fall Festival) in Walkerton. You will be glad you did. WHEN...
