The town of Sharpsburg will

celebrate the 16th annual Fall Festival this Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m.

to 5 p.m.

The festival features arts and crafts exhibitors, entertainment a lot

of festival food favorites and fun for the whole family.

This year the festival has expanded to include the space next to the Sharpsburg

Baptist Church. There will even be a 9 a.m. service Sunday to kick off

the festivities. Also new to the festival this year is a kids corner,

which will feature a moon walk, pony rides, face painting and a petting

zoo. Other area churches get into the spirit as well. Cokes Chapel provides

the barbecue and Crossroads Baptist provides food as well.

There will be close to 100 exhibitors in and around Old Town Sharpsburg

over the weekend, offering such wares as woodwork, ceramics, paintings

and more.

There will be antiques, performances from Rachel Ferguson's dancers, as

well as music of many different styles. Also returning to the festival

this year is the ever-popular tree climbing.

"The festival is just a traditional family fun day," said Sharon

Bernocco, one of the festival's organizers. "It is a good way for

the community to come together and have a good time."
