Festivals kick off the season

The Rutledge area really kicked off autumn last weekend with two area Fall Festivals–one at Hard Labor Creek State Park and another in downtown Rutledge.
The state park festival last Saturday included marshmellow roasting and hayrides. Meanwhile, the downtown Rutledge annual Spooky Fall Fest invited local children to dress in their Halloween finest–kind of a pre-Halloween dry run–and participate in a costume contest, Trunk-or-Treat and much more.
And Morgan County’s Fire Station 2, located on Brooks Road in Madison also held a festival as pictured on the front page.
Needless to say, fall’s here, whether or not we’re ready for it.
