More than 300 crafters and vendors will be set up on Main Street in Clarion from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6. It just amazes me... it s just a sea of people, you can t see the roads, Becker said. The second biggest draw is the Tournament of Leaves Parade, according to the chamber director. As of last week, there were 129 parade units signed up, but Becker still had to hear back from several participants. The parade will begin at noon Saturday, Oct. 7. The third highest attendance day would be the car show, she said. The car show will be held from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday from Second to Eighth Avenue on Main Street. Everybody loves car shows, Becker said. However, she added that it would depend on who you asked as to the most popular festival events. She said that some of the younger festival attendees preferences include the amusement rides, the kiddies parade, the kids carnival and the touch-a-truck event. Becker also expressed enthusiasm for some of the merchandise for this year s festival. Some of the newer items include Yankee Candle candles, hand-stamped jewelry and Clarion-opoly. The items are available at the chamber office, but there will be a trailer in front of the courthouse during the festival. Becker was happy that the festival continues to thrive and added that it will mark its 65th year next year. She said that at a time when some towns were discontinuing celebrations due to economic factors, it was nice to see that the Autumn Leaf Festival continues to draw crowds and showcase Clarion County and the region. We have a lot to be proud of here in western Pennsylvania, Becker said. She expressed pride and gratitude for all those involved in putting on the festival. We would not be able to do this without the support of the board of directors, 45-plus sponsors, chamber staff, volunteers and committee chairs, she said. I m thankful each and every day for them, Becker said. I m blessed to be able to do this event and be surrounded by people who support this event.
