Denison's Fall Festival

      Saturday, October 1st, the city of Denison cordoned
off five blocks of the downtown area for it's Annual Fall
Festival. Vendors, display merchants, food servers, and
musical groups were in abundance. The weather could not
have been more accommodating as clear skies and temperatures
in the 80's covered the entire proceedings. 
   October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and several
booths were set up to take in donations for this very worthy
charity. All of the workers in the booths were wearing 'pink
wigs' for easy identification.
   The smell of caramel-flavored popcorn and hamburgers 
permeated the air for blocks around. The lemonade and water
booths were making a killing in the warm temperatures.
   The Annual Car Show is one aspect of the Fall Festival
that I really look forward to. This year was no dissappointment
as reconditioned and hopped-up cars from the past were all
on display for the large crowd to enjoy. I was impressed by the
1940 Ford Coupe painted a metallic maroon...and the green
1950 Chevrolet 2-door sedan. The Chevy looked like it just
rolled off the assembly line,...everything was all original.
   The City of Denison has made an annual affair of this Fall
Festival and this about the tenth year it has been held. It is a
super activity and hopefully it will continue to grow and 
attract a larger audience.
