It's Almost Here! The 2017 Fall Festival Rundown

It's the most wonderful time of the year (other than the holidays)! We all love the fall season in the Tri-State for many reasons. As agents, we get to be out showing houses and hosting open houses on gorgeous days (let's hope the recent heat wave is done for good!) and we also get to show off our towns' local autumnal highlights such as pumpkin patches, apple orchards and burgoo from many local churches/civic groups.

No matter where you are in the Tri-State, each town showcases a wonderful display of changing leaves and harvested fields, and an array of corn mazes and types of homemade cider. Does it get any better?

Actually, yes!! We live in a region known for various festivals and celebrations, but the biggest and most well-known is, of course, the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. The 96th annual Fall Festival will be held October 2-7 this year, turning Evansville's beloved Franklin Street into a huge carnival showcasing rides, games, entertainment and perhaps our favorite, all kinds of incredible food.

This tremendous street festival is free to attend, but we promise you will find your wallet a bit emptier upon leaving because you will want to try a delicacy from nearly all of the 136 food booths stretching from Wasbash to St. Joe -- be sure to take your 2017 Munchie Map so you can find all your favorites!

While the Fall Festival is known for its fun and food, it's equally known for its charitable efforts and positive impact on the community. Because of this phenomenal event organized by the West Side Nut Club, non-profits, school clubs, and churches that volunteer in all those food booths can use this event to fund their charitable projects and mission. As a community, we are helping them do what they need to do to improve our community. It's really a win-win for all of us -- especially when we get to enjoy the amazing treats they sell year after year.

Let's all hope for great weather and huge crowds again this year! We look forward to seeing all of you out on Franklin Street October 2-7! We might all find an excuse to work out of our West Side office for a few days to be near the fun!
