AUTHOR’S NOTE: I arrived in Sophia on Friday afternoon. I was told that Saturday night was the festival’s big day, offering kids’ games and more vendors that weren’t present during my visit.
This post documents my experience on September 27, 2019.

It was a beautiful afternoon in Sophia…
…when I came to visit their annual Fall Festival.
Children were jumping around on the inflatables…
…Daniel Lilly and The Lilly Mountaineers was entertaining festival goers with a great performance…
…and I was considering a mid-afternoon snack between either a hot dog or some BBQ (right – Bro. Marsh’s and Son BBQ)…
…eventually deciding on the latter (topped with coleslaw).
Afterwards, I decided to walk off some calories while checking out the vendors…
…and I was really impressed with the amount of artistic/artisan offerings…
…including custom made signs…
…handmade plaques (by Jimmie)…
…the perfect kitchen accessories (Crafty Lady Birds)…
…paintings, carved walking sticks (Odd’s & End’s!!)…
…and all sorts of handmade items from jewelry to artwork (Crimson Crafters).
Even the baked goods were homemade with staple pepperoni rolls, cinnamon rolls, brownies and unicorn cookies.
Yum!
