TIME FOR WARNER FALL FOLIAGE FESTIVALFestival planned for October 6 & 7
WARNER, NH---September 26, 2012---For generations, leaf lovers have climbed high atop Mt. Kearsarge to admire the magnificent views and breathtaking autumn colors during Columbus Day weekend, and this year will be no different. The vibrant splashes of red, orange, yellow and green which the autumn princess has painted is astounding.
Nestled at the foot of Mt. Kearsarge in western New Hampshire, lies the charming little town of Warner. Its main street is lined with flower-filled planters and trees showing off their most colorful fall costumes.
Adding to the ambiance of this quaint village are the friendly folks who live here. This is the weekend they invite everyone from near and far to visit their town to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage and crisp, clean autumn air. They celebrate this occasion by holding a festival of fun. The Warner Fall Foliage Festival is scheduled for October 6 and 7, and festival organizers are excited about this year’s offerings.

“We have several new activities, musicians and entertainers this year, including the
1-Mile Fun Run for kids, an Apple Pie Baking Contest and more Kids Korner activities,” said Sherry Thomas, festival president. “Our Eat Local food tent was a great success last year, so this year we’ll be offering even more locally-grown food.”
Festival-goers will notice a larger number of young volunteers, as dozens of area students pitch in to help.
“We expect a great crowd. As always, admission is free, and this year we’ll have free carousel rides all weekend. An entire family can enjoy most of the activities for as little as the $3.00 parking fee. We‘ll even have free shuttle service from parking areas to the festival,” Thomas said.
Local farmers will offer fresh vegetables and other foods at the Farmers’ Market, while scores of artisans and crafters showcase their finest creations in and around the town hall. Bands and roaming musicians will fill the air with music, and other entertainers will fill the hearts of festival-goers with joy. An ice cream eating contest, sumptuous meals, and other appetizing offerings will fill empty stomachs.
“The younger children will love the puppet show and bubble party,” Thomas said. “We’ll also have a midway, games and crafts. Saturday after dark, we’ll be telling ghost stories around a fire pit, while the kids toast marshmallows.
“We hope our friends and neighbors from all around will bring their families to Warner on Columbus Day weekend to enjoy the foliage and the fun,” Thomas said.
