“The Best Little Festival In Kentucky” has once again come and gone. With the hot weather and even rain, people came from all around the area to get a part of Septemberfest, they had fried “anything” from funnel cakes to blooming onions, or just about anything you could imagine, they had fried. The Rotary hash and freshly squeezed lemonade had people standing in line to get their taste of Septemberfest.

The kids rode the several carnival rides, watched the parade, even seeing some super heroes. The music was amazing with several local bands and names like Marty Brown, and the headliner Craig Wayne Boyd that is best known for being the season 7 winner of the Voice. He was late coming to the stage due to the rain, but that didn’t detour the fans, they sat in the rain finding shelter where they could and waited it out. He ended his performance with a perfect rendition of “The Old Rugged Cross”, afterwards signing autographs and taking pictures with anyone that wanted to wait.
Overall it was a great success and no doubt 2016 Septemberfest will be hard to beat!
Louisa mayor harold Slone said the festival was down some this year in attendance but still declared it a success. Here is what he had to say.

“ Arts and Crafts tent was full with some extra spilling over into the park”.
“ Septemberfest is like a town reunion, so many people that have moved away come home to visit. Many family and class reunions take place during the festival”
