Where can you take the whole family and enjoy a day full of free fun activities? The Hatchie Fall Fest October 21, on the square in Brownsville, Tenn., promises all that and more.
From scarecrows to rock climbing and everything in between, you’re going to have a great time. This festival truly has something for everyone, even the family pet. While the kids are busy decorating cookies, getting their face painted and enjoying the pony rides, you can find great bargains at the many arts and crafts booths, shop the local merchant’s sidewalk sales and enjoy a beautiful quilt exhibit.
But that’s not all. There are lots of things you can do as a family. Ever climbed a rock wall? Now’s your chance to show the kids how it’s done, or maybe they’ll show you. Have fun looking at the scarecrow exhibits and take a carriage ride through historic downtown. Pets get in on the act at the Pet Show followed by the Blessing of the Pets.
Want more? How about a little family competition in the 5K Run/Walk or one of the many other contest, like pie and cake baking, or gumbo cooking. Ever tried to wiggle into a frozen t-shirt? It’s all happening Saturday, October 21, beginning at 10 a.m.
Wow! Need a rest? Mosey up to the sound stage area and take a load off while listening to local and regional entertainers. Local favorite Mickey Utley and Memphis Blueswoman Christy Hathcock are among those scheduled to perform. Now’s a good time to try some of the great food available, too.
You’ll also want to check out the mini-tractor pull before you call it a day. You will delight in all that the Hatchie Fall Fest has to offer.
Admission to the Hatchie Fall Fest is free. For directions and more information about the day of fun-filled activities or to participate in the many contests, contact Daniel Thornton at 731-780-1641 or visit online at www.allaboutbrownsville.net.
