CENTRE - What a beautiful day it was with such a great turnout this past weekend Saturday, October 1 at the 47th Annual Centre Fall Festival.
It was truly tons of fun for the whole family, from performances by the what-a-dance studio, a ventriloquist, and music from local artists.

A ventriloquist entertained the community across from the courthouse. There was also a small train ride for children and adults. In front of the old middle school were inflatables along with Mickey, Minnie, and friends to greet the little ones and have your photo taken with them.
The Cherokee County Historical Museum was open, with free admission throughout the festival hours. It features several expanded exhibits.
The Fall Festival began in 1975 as part of Cherokee County's two-year celebration of the U.S. Bicentennial.
The event originally was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. The Spirit of Cherokee organization took over as a sponsor in 1995, and for the past decade, the City of Centre has sponsored the fall event.
