September 2008


Plans are being made for the 25th Annual Fall Festival. This will be an exciting day for the whole family! Children’s activities are planned with a pedal tractor pull, horse drawn wagon rides, and Cedar Hill Fire Department’s Safe House to teach youngsters about fire safety. We will have farm chore demonstrations with vintage farm equipment along with an antique and quilt exhibit. There will be crafts and homemade goodies for sale. Local musical talent will provide entertainment throughout the day. This year we are glad to announce that the Young Voices Northwest children’s choir will be singing for us. As always we will end the day with a bang, with a fireworks finale at 8:30 p.m. We have many exciting new additions to this year’s festival. When commitments and plans are finalized, we will be sharing our exciting news.
