The festivities will begin with the opening ceremony at 9:30 a.m. and lasting until 5:00 p.m., at which time there will be live music and axe throwing contest at the Bad Axe Bistro on Main Street.
The 2022 Sutton Fall Festival is orchestrated by Pageant Master and member of the Board of Directors of the Sutton Community Development Corporation Gary Beamer, best known for staging beauty pageants, the 2021 Town of Sutton Christmas Parade, and the Braxton County Fair.
