HOLY HAY BALES 😆🍂

You know Fall Fest is getting close when the hay starts showing up downtown! We’ll be putting these to good use tomorrow as we transform downtown Effingham into a little fall wonderland. 🍂

Word on the street is that someone VERY special might be making another appearance at Fall Fest this year…

We can't confirm or deny, but you might want to have the kiddos around at 5PM! 🎅🏼

Let's just say he'll be bringing a little Miracle at Wheat Penny Christmas cheer to downtown Effingham a bit early this year! 😆

SEE YOU TOMORROW, SAT OCT 17TH! 🍂

Fall Fest is for the whole family… including your four-legged friends! 🐶🐕

We love seeing all the pups walking around downtown, so bring them along this Saturday! Good food, cold b**r, fall weather, and plenty of tail wags.

Just make sure they're leashed and ready to make some friends! See you this Saturday, Oct 17th.

We've got an incredible day planned, and we couldn't be more excited to share it with you all!

BOURBON TASTING🔥🥃

We’re bringing something NEW to Ham City Fall Fest this year!

Thanks to our friends at Koerner Distributor, Inc., we’ll be featuring some rare bourbon picks that we’re excited for you to try! The bourbon tasting starts at 5PM.

And because bourbon tastes even better around a fire, we’re adding fire pits to this area so you can kick back, sip on something good, and enjoy a crisp fall day with friends. 🙌🏼

Saturday, October 17th. Downtown Effingham.
