Festival Keeps Pace With Changes At Moravia Event
At Basil Cowell Post 361 meeting plans were laid for a stag party and a Legion booth at the Fall Festival. A heart attack benching the champion state fiddler led to a substitute by local talent. The German Band, Perry Moore and his fife and drum corps, Moravia high school band, and Rex and Jean Rin hart will perform across three days. The pet parade shifts to Thursday afternoon, with races, contests, and amateur acts, plus a large lineup of band concerts, parades, and exhibits. A poultry show, veterinary checks for Newcastle disease, and multiple contests fill the schedule along with baseball, softball, and band performances.
