The dust has settled; the lights have dimmed, and the reviews are in. Alabama winds up another successful Fall Festival!

Thanks to Kevin and Mary Ann Garrett, John and Susan Chain, Mike Gerrells, Terry Kelley, Bill Richardson, Karen Black, David Bailor, and all the community theatre participants who supported our festival in so many ways.
