The popular Webster Fall Festival will celebrate its 40th year on September 23 with good, old-fashioned family fun! 

The festival begins at 10am with a live auction of antiques and collectables hosted by Brian Braun of the Braun and Helmer Auction Services. 

At 11am the full festival gets under way with tours of the historic buildings and church, demonstrations of old-time skills like rope making, log hewing, blacksmithing and sheepdogs at work, and an old time base ball game. 

Shoppers will find jams and baked goods at the Taste of Webster, beautiful crafts and gifts at the Artisans' Market, and flea market treasures in May Mast's Barn.

There will be plenty of activities for the little ones like live farm animals, a kids' activities center, and hayrides with the family.

If you are hungry, grab a hot dog & chips, some ice cream, or a delicious pulled pork sandwich dinner.

Then pull up a chair and listen to live music on the Corncrib stage. The RFD Boys will end the show at 4pm followed by a grand finale performance by Sweet Pea's Flaming Arts Show and a dedication to Gloria Brigham, one of the festival's founding members.
