36th Annual Asheboro Fall Festival

October 4, 2008 Saturday- Ever since I can remember the Asheboro Fall Festival has been a family tradition for us. Mom and Dad used to have a booth there and were in to lapidary (an artisan who practices the craft of working, forming and finishing stone, mineral, gemstones into functional and/or decorative, even wearable, items). They sold their polished gems and stones that they made into belt buckles and necklaces and pins. My grandparents, who lived in Florida at the time, would come up every year for this fall festival. This year we all went and my aunt from Texas was here and my aunt and uncle from Weaverville came to it. It was a nice fall day for this event. The kids were not in strollers this time. They walked around for a little over an hour and then we split up and Chad took them to a little ride and bouncey area for kids and then we meet back at Mom's.
Nearly 100,000 people attend the Asheboro Fall Festival annually
