The Hilltop Fall Festival Is Just Around The Corner

Fall is in the air and the annual Hilltop Fall Festival is next Saturday, October 4th, 8:00am until. Hilltop Fall Festival officially opens with the annual 5K race at 8:00 a.m. and is immediately followed by the Tour de Pumpkin Bike Ride and the 1K fun run.  The winners of the 5K race and the fun run will be announced by our Master of Ceremonies, Jimmy Dancy.  Mayor Jimmy Dancy will do the honors of presenting awards to the winners.

Live music begins at 11:00am main stage on the courthouse lawn featuring two great bands.  Citizen Mojo will perform 11:00 – 1:00pm & Dirty Grass Soul will take the stage from 3:00 – 5:00pm. We have expanded our children’s area this year to include a putt-putt area and inflatables, a rock climbing wall and more. ROC Equestrian Division will also have pony rides for children in the Woodrow Jones parking lot.  This year we have a new experience to offer Race Day Motorsports.  Come see if you can drive on the race circuit.  Great fun for all ages.

Come see your friends and neighbors, catch up on all the small town news, pick up some great gifts from our local crafters, help your local non-profit groups, and eat some great food. Enjoy the day with your local hometown merchants and friends.

Our local AM radio station, WCAB, will do a live remote broadcast from 11:00am– 3:00pm keeping us up to date on the day’s activities.
