Fall Fest - September 24, 2011
|
Beautiful weather prevailed at the 2011 Fall Fest! A lot of roads led to Fall Fest,
some driving into town for reunions, others running or walking, as they participated
in the 5K Fun Run.There was an extremely large crowd, but there was plenty to do,
plenty to see, and plenty to eat! Fall Fest got a jump start, since Friday was the
Concordia High School Homecoming. Following the football game, the American
Legion was host to a Street Dance and Beer Garden. Early-risers could participate
in the 5K Fun Run or attend the pancake breakfast.

Fall Fest has become a “Homecoming” for the Cloud County/Concordia community
for over 25 years. The format of one-location, one-day programming facilitates a
return to visit old friends in a fun-filled atmosphere that attracts one and all, adults,
children, senior citizens and teens. Many family reunions as well as class reunions
are held to coincide with Fall Fest, and no wonder!
The day's offerings include craft and food booths, demonstrations, games, amusements,
free entertainment, parade and activities. Join the 7,500 to 10,000 people who attend Fall
Fest in Concordia!
Fall Fest is always held the fourth Saturday of September! Fall Fest 2012 is Saturday,
September 22!
