Moravia Fall Festival Surpasses Expectations Through Weather
The 21st Annual Fall Festival and Farmers Institute in Moravia ran Thursday through Saturday under unseasonable rain, yet sunshine allowed a strong livestock display and record turnout. Premiums were awarded by Monroe County Farm Bureau with notable exhibits from New Hope, Hedge College, Maple Grove, and West Point, including poultry judged by Roy Watkins of Ames and diverse school displays. Citizens praised the accessible exhibits, the music by The Moravia Hand, and auto polo by Waughop Motor Co as rain relief lifted festival mood.
