PUMPKIN PALOOZA SCARECROW TRAIL

The Franklin County Chamber of Commerce Pumpkin Palooza and Scarecrow Trail has given the downtown area a Halloween feel. Individuals or groups decorated with pumpkins and scarecrows to create festive fall displays along the main street of down. The tradition began in downtown Russellville and temporarily moved to City Lake Park before returning to downtown Russellville. A kickoff celebration brought community members out for treats, chalk art and fun displays to enjoy together.
