S is for Synchronicity

Without planning, it seems that Falls Village is having a de facto Fall Festival this coming weekend. The Falls Village Children's Theater has signed up 42 individuals, families, volunteer organizations and businesses to make scarecrows, which will be erected on Main Street and the Town Green on Saturday morning with voting from noon till 3:30 PM with prizes awarded in five catgeories: Scariest, Funniest, Most Theatrical, Best Look-alike, Most Falls Village. The FVCT will sell cider and donuts out of the future home of the Falls Village Community & Cultural Center (which will be getting a new roof next month and still needs donations to pay for the project.) F.O.L.K.S. , the Friends of Lee Kellogg School (aka the PTA), has organized a Community Harvest Hoedown on Main Street, which will be closed to traffic, so there will be dancing in the street in front of Town Hall from 2 - 4 PM. In the evening, the Falls Village Congregational Church will hold its annual Halloween Ham Dinner, and on Sunday morning Falls Village Day Care will hold its second annual pancake breakfast in the Senior Center. It's a harmonic convergence demonstrating that Falls Villagers (despite their differences) share a common commitment to children, charity and community. Raindate: Sunday, Oct 28. Call 824-4303 if the weather is questionable.
