greater Mt. Michael community said farewell to summer and welcome
to autumn with the 49th annual Fall Festival.Though a warm and windy day, the Fall Festival proved to be a wonderful success with over 11,000 visitors. Guests enjoyed dozens of types of food from polish sausages to pizza and hot enchiladas to hamburgers while, ice cream, cotton candy, and “Heavenly Apples” kept the crowds cool.

the balloon-genius of The Amazing Arthur, while the parents were
entertained with dance and musical acts such as The Heartland Hoedowners,
The Avi8tors, Robert Glaser and the Sing, Sing, Swing Orchestra,
the Cabaret Theatre, the country and western music of Ron Zoucha,
