Not all of what is important at the Foothills Festival takes place on stage. Part of the attraction of the fall celebration is having the chance to visit with friends, old and new. Jackie Pierce and Darrel Claywell were spotted Saturday taking a break from sightseeing, having a chat and checking out some wooden rocking chairs that were for sale at one of the many Arts and Crafts booths around the courthouse square.

Foothills fans stopped by the Foothills Building all day Saturday, to admire the entries in the Pumpking Carving, Pumpkin Decorating and Lego Building contests.
