Excellent weather is expected for the 43rd annual Midway Fall Festival, which will be held Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and 11 to 5 on Sunday. Saturday's forecast from The Weather Channel is for partly cloudy skies and a high of 83; on Sunday the prediction is sunny and 84. The festival usually attracts 10,000 to 15,000 people and is widely regarded as one of the best community festivals in the Bluegrass.

Peggy Angel, president of the Midway Business Association, announced at the last City Council meeting that the festival will have up to 160 vendors, with food, crafts and activities for all ages, making it one of the largest ever. It is staged by the business association, with help from the City of Midway. For more information, see the festival website.
