Welcome to the Fallen Water Farm Festival Website!

The Fallen Water Festival Committee is proud to announce that the proceeds from the 2008 - 18th annual event went to help Teddy Fletcher, a Cancer Victim from Luttrell.

Ted was diagnosed with tonsil cancer on November 4, 2007. He has undergone chemotherapy for nine weeks and now takes radiation every day. He also takes 2 shots each day, amounting to a total of $3,500 daily. Medical bills are beginning to get excessive and he greatly appreciates any help that he gets.

Ted is married to the former Sonja Linkows. He has three daughters - Tracy, Jennifer, and Bridget - and six grandchildren. Ted is the son of the late William and Frieda Fletcher.

Update: At this time Teddy is doing very well, and hopes to make a complete recovery.

FALLEN WATER FARM FESTIVAL

1990 - 2008

Say's A Big Thanks!

With some of the best talent what a journey and a mission we've had. 

Yes, it was November 3, 1990, a ride some 19 years ago with just a handful of family and friends in attendance. As the years went by the attendance grew and grew by leaps and bounds, a festival committee was formed.

So in 1996, we started a 2 day event that started on Friday evening and lasted all day Saturday, and was always held on the 3rd weekend in September.

In 1997 state inspections and water testing began each year. Through out the years we continued to update the Fallen Water Farm grounds as needed. having helped 30 families and 1 organization thru the festival.

We have had the honor and privilege to meet so many new friends threw fellowship and working together as one.

A lady once asked me how have you done this? The crowds, the success? I said, " Number one, having God involved. Then having everyone working together and getting along." Can't say we never had differences, but we always managed to work things out.

To the festival committee, former and present, who went out of their way so many times; because they loved helping others and enjoyed what they did. Bringing home many trophies for the parades we participated in, and for doing their best no matter what, I say thank you will all my heart!

So, now due to new government restrictions that we cannot meet, we are closing down the operations and locking the gate. This is with much sadness and regret, I wish it could go on forever.....

A very special Thank You goes out to: 

Bob Sharp, owner of Flowers by Bob
