Carrollton’s 8th Annual Fall Festival was held on the Courthouse Square on Saturday, October 1, 2022. Mayor Mickey Walker and Carrollton’s Beautification Committee, which consists of 30 members, began planning for this event in May of 2022. There were 60 sponsors for the event this year and 125 vendors at the festival. The money from the sponsors is used to beautify the town of Carrollton. They have used the money to plant trees, help with Happy Acres Pavilion and decorate the town for each season of the year. Their goal is to keep the town of Carrollton beautiful, safe, and clean. This year, Carrollton’s Fall Festival was the biggest and best yet.
     “This is a great turnout and great weather,” said Donna Nance, who is in charge of the Fall Festival. “We just need to thank the city workers, Lee Goodson, Scotty Perrigin, and Mayor Mickey Walker, for all this work that they have helped us with.”
    The weather was beautiful, and the streets of Carrollton were full of people on Saturday. There were people from all over the area visiting Carrollton, shopping with the vendors, and enjoying the food and fellowship. The town was beautifully decorated for fall, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and the beautiful weather.
