The 16th annual Falloween Fest in Walkerton at the John Glenn High School begins Friday with the Grand Parade at 5 p.m.
Visitors will find nearly 100 crafters in the air-conditioned gymnasium and on the grounds featuring homemade goods and artisan items, pumpkins, apples, gourdes, honey, corn stalks, a huge mums sale, and a petting zoo — all available at the Farmer’s Market and FFA agricultural area.
Falloween is an eater's delight with delicious community meals, including a pork chop dinner on Friday night, the Tyner IOOF all-you-can-eat fish fry in the gym on Saturday evening, and a Sunday Chicken Noodles Dinner. Nancy’s Falcon Kitcher will offer homemade items for breakfast and lunch in the school cafeteria on Saturday.
Falloween is a real food fest. Many favorites include the police department brisket, the band boosters pulled pork, homemade apple dumplings, Amish pie and soup, ribeye steak sandwiches, and freshly grilled hamburgers. You will also find traditional carnival fare such as elephant ears, funnel cakes, cotton candy, corn dogs, and so much more.
Falloween fairgoers will find a variety of free entertainment on two stages. The Whistle Pigs perform in the entertainment tent on Friday, and listeners can enjoy the modern country sound of Amarillo Sky on Saturday. The duo of Spittin’ Image is sure to entertain Saturday evening, and Wesley Waffles will have a fund performance for children Saturday at noon. Don’t miss the magic show, Christian Strutz, Tege Holt, Accoustically Speaking, and much more.
Falloween is a full weekend of family fun while raising funds for scholarships for John Glenn High School seniors.
