Organizers report a successful Fall Festival

Thursday, November 5, 2009 Downtown Albemarle was alive with children and parents who participated in the 4th Annual Fall Festival and Costume Parade on Oct. 29. This event, sponsored for three of the past four years by Frank Sparger, owner and manager of Sparger Investments, continues to grow in popularity each year.

More than 40 downtown businesses and 500 children participated in the afternoon’s activities. North Stanly High School played a key role in the event by providing its marching band to lead the parade and the Comet Players who entertained the children in Courthouse Square Park.

New to this year’s event was a costume contest that awarded prizes for the most unique costumes, categorized by age.

The winners were: Tyler Beasley, Matthew Boone and Emily Almond. Gift certificates for the winners may be picked up at Albemarle Downtown Development Corporation office if they were not picked up at the event.

Brooke Laton, chair of this year’s event, expressed delight by noting that “this was the best one yet. They get better every year, and it’s a great way to get people downtown. There are many people and businesses who help make this happen, and we’re likely to miss someone if we try to recognize everyone.”
