It’s a fun week to call Perry home! 🌲🎡
Forest Festival week is here, and our little town has plenty going on! Carnival rides, fireworks, downtown festivities, and a Saturday full of familiar faces.
A couple things to check off by Wednesday:
🍩 Pre-order your Johnson's Bakery donuts for the parade. Parade watching requires snacks, y’all!
🎟️ Grab your advance carnival tickets from the ladies at Taylor County Chamber of Commerce & Tourism
Wednesday is the deadline for both, so don’t put it off!
Here’s this week’s lineup:
🎡 Wednesday, Oct. 21–Saturday, Oct. 24: Carnival
🎆 Thursday, Oct. 22: Fireworks at Perry-Foley Airport at 8 p.m. sharp!
🏘️ Friday, Oct. 23: Downtown fun!
• 6:15 p.m. Kids’ Parade
• 6:45 p.m. Strut Your Mutt Contest
• 7 p.m. Bed Race
🌲 Saturday, Oct. 24: Festival Day!
• 9:30 a.m. King Tree Parade downtown
• All day: Arts & crafts, live music, classic cars, and more at Forest Capital State Park
• Noon: World’s Largest Free Fish Fry at the park!
I get to help people find a home here, but weeks like this remind me why I love calling it home myself.
What’s your favorite Forest Festival tradition?
