The Town of Alderson and Alderson Main Street have announced the first annual Fall Festival on the Bridge. It will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15 on the Alderson Memorial Bridge.
The Fall Festival will include arts, crafts, local food, an art car painting demonstration, some Community Market vendors, the Historic 1896 C&O Train Depot, Alderson shops and restaurants, live music, and more. Vendors must register by emailing aldersonharvestfest@gmail.com.
This event will also include the first ever Straw Bale Scarecrow Contest! It is a competition open to businesses, individuals, and nonprofits. They are invited to make a scarecrow using a straw bale base around the lamp posts in town. Applications to enter must be made to donsutherland2003@yahoo.com. Once entered, applicants will be assigned a location and told where to pick up their complimentary straw bale. The full contest rules are posted on the Alderson Main Street face book page.
Doris Kasley said, “Fall is such a beautiful time of year in our town and we are eager to share it with others. A huge thanks to Don Sutherland and all the volunteers working to make this Fall Festival happen.”
