DEL.ICIO.USFestival madness
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Cooler weather and fall is finally here and that means its fall festival time in Henry County!
In Hampton, on September 29 -30, the Bear Creek Festival is celebrating its 10th year and is now a two-day festival. It is held at the city park in Hampton from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday and noon to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
This festival is sponsored by the Hampton Business and Merchants Association and kicks off with a parade at 9:30 a.m. that goes through downtown Hampton.
There will be antique dealers, food vendors, arts and crafts, community information booths, a kids’ area, live entertainment both days and great family fun! And 92.5 The Bear will be broadcasting live on Saturday from 9-11 am.
Henry County fall festivals are wonderful for families to attend and to enjoy some good clean fun and entertainment. Each year, I always see friends who I grew up with and catch up on old times. That is the advantage of attending local festivals! You might even run into some long-lost relatives!
Does Henry County offer enough local events like this throughout the year? Do you travel out of Henry County to other fall festivals? If so, where do you go?

I always go to the Georgia National Fair in Perry. Its the biggest fair around and after that much fair I don’t need to go to any others.
Although, I didn’t know about the Bear Creek Festival, I might have to check it out.

I have been to the Hampton Festival for many years and it is always fun! I love the parade, they have great entertainment, and the food is wonderful! You see alot of local people that you have not seen in a long time. I also go to Perry to the National Fair. They have great concerts too there.

Bye, bye Connie. Hate to see you go. Editors at AJC are nitwits… We love Henry and folks like you from Henry.
I guess AJC does not want to hear about Henry, so this is a market they have abandoned.
