Rosalia set for fourth fall festival

Take a hay ride through Rosalia while sipping a cup of freshly-pressed apple cider during the town’s Fourth Annual Fall Festival Saturday.

Events include the cider press at the town’s historic Texaco station, a craft fair at Smith’s Country Store and craft lessons at the Pinewood Cottage.

Bruce Pritchett will be making balloon animals in front of Rosalia Coffee and More, and the Rosalia High School senior class will sell hot dogs and run games for the kids on Whitman Street.

Hay rides will run up and down Whitman Street, leaving from the Texaco Station. The Malden Boosters’ annual pie baking contest will take place throughout the day. Entries should be submitted at the coffee shop and will be displayed at the Budding Rose Art Gallery.

The gallery will also have a pottery show featuring ceramics from all over the Inland Empire. Rosalia High’s new art teacher Sean Moss will demonstrate a Raku firing technique at 10 a.m. behind the gallery.

Rosalia author Marcy Campbell will be in Pat’s Books at 10 a.m. to sign copies of her acclaimed Rosie series.

The Fall Festival kicks off with a breakfast by the Rosalia Association for Community Enrichment at 8 a.m. in the Methodist Church.

Throughout the day Rosalia businesses will offer specials.
