2-day event to benefit skate park
It was once called Butler Fall Fest.
Now, Butler community members can enjoy live music, fire performers, food and craft vendors and other activities Sept. 11 and 18 during the county's Community Days.
Because of the lack of funds and volunteers for the annual Fall Festival event, the board of directors decided that the Community Days will replace the yearly event, with hopes to bring the Fall Festival back to Main Street in 2022.
Don Shearer, president of the Butler Fall Festival board, said that conducting the event on Main Street requires a lot of money from sponsors, but unfortunately with the pandemic, sponsorship dropped because of uncertainty.
“We needed as much time to plan the event as we could,” Shearer said. “(With the uncertainty), we reached out to local areas.”
