Camden festival is Saturday
Comet staff report

Like it or not, a change in seasons is just around the corner. But even in the midst of change, some things stay constant.

A prime example is the Camden Fall Festival coming Sept. 8. Visitors can enjoy food, musical entertainment, booths, contests, activities and displays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This year's celebration holds a few constants of its own, with a few new twists thrown in.

The United Methodist Church will offer breakfast at 6:30 in the community building to get festivities under way.

Camden library will hold a book sale during the festival.

A pie-judging contest will be held at 10 in the community building. The winner will be announced between 10:45 and 11.

A tricycle-big wheel race will be held from 11 to 11:30 in front of the community center. Participants can be any age and must provide their own pedal racer.

The 2007-08 Camden pageant and contest court will be announced at noon.

A "flying frog" contest is planned for 1 p.m.

A bubble gum-blowing contest will be held at 2:30.

Musical performances will occur at the following times:

• Tonsil Klackers, 9 - 9:45;

• Resurrection, 10 - 10:45;

• Chalisa Keaton, 11 - 11:45;

• Ross Larimore, 12:15 - 12:45;

• Denim and Lace, 1:30 - 2:30; and

• Jerry Wells (Hands Held High), 3 - 3:45.

Festival proceeds will support the Camden Cemetery project.
