The Frozen
T-shirt contest has become a Hatchie Fall Fest favorite. The task of putting a
frozen t-shirt on can be a lot harder than it seems. This contestant thought he
was ready but quickly found a partially thawed shirt does not fit. This is just
one of the crowd-pleasing events that will be held during the October 17
festival in Brownsville, Tenn.
Hatchie Fall Fest fun set for October 17
The date for this year’s Hatchie
Fall Fest is set for Saturday, October 17, on the square in Brownsville, Tenn.
A fun-filled day of kid’s games and activities, cooking and eating contests,
live music and arts and crafts will all be a part of the 6th annual
event.
Back by popular demand is the
frozen t-shirt contest, enjoyed by all ages, and the salsa eating contests. For
a bit of nostalgia, visit the quilt display at Regions Bank and while the kids
are busy in the bouncy house, getting their face painted and enjoying the many
games, you can find great bargains at the arts and crafts booths. Local
merchants will have sidewalk sales and great festival food will be available
around every corner.
New to this year’s festival is a
Family Relay event sponsored by the YMCA, a noodle eating contest and the
National Guard Indy car will also be on display.
Opening ceremonies begin on the
square at 10 a.m., and the music line-up for the day will include local
favorites like the Singing Firefighter David Smith, The Barnett Family,
students of J Soundz Studio, the HHS Show Choir, Blair Simpson and more.
Headlining this year is Ain’t Yo Mama, a band from Somerville Tennessee who
will entertain with a classic rock sound. Also on the schedule is a band that
originated in Brownsville and now includes members from all over West Tennessee
and Arkansas, Roses Unread will perform a late afternoon set.
Motorcycle enthusiasts will be
glad to know a Motorcycle Card Run is back on the schedule of festival
activities. You’ll also want to check out the mini-tractor pull at the Boyd
Avenue arena beginning at 5 p.m. Ham radio operators will be setup at Oneal
Lake and lots more await you at the Hatchie Fall Fest.
Admission to the festival is free.
