GREENBRIER — The 64th annual Greenbrier Fall Festival was held on Oct. 24 in support of the Greenbrier School District.

Students and parents sold Savers Cards and sponsored a drawing for the grand prize of a Honda four-wheeler with a trailer. Students were also elected to represent their class or grade as this year’s Fall Festival Kings and Queens. These students and their families worked throughout the month of October hosting other fundraisers to help raise a total of $68,000 this year.

As part of the festivities, a silent auction was held and carnival games including an old fashioned cakewalk were enjoyed at the high school. That night,the Coronation Ceremony to present and crown this year’s Fall Festival Royalty was held at Panther Pavilion.
