A sizable but safely distanced crowd showed up in Warner on the Holiday weekend in spite of the cancellation of Warner Fall Foliage Festival (WFFF).
The Warner Area Farmer's Market extended their Saturday hours and included many craft booths, as well as hot cider and donuts, a WFFF tradition started by Fred Creed and being continued by Sam Bower. He sold out by 10:30 am due to the unexpected (and hungry) crowd!
There was an extended Historical Society barn sale, and exhibits to visit.

Mara cannot remember anything about the night her friends died. All she knows is what she’s been told: they went to an abandoned asylum, the building collapsed, and only Mara survived.
Two months later, Mara is eager to move forward with her life in a new town, but that’s easier said than done. A boy at school named Noah Shaw seems to know more about Mara’s tragic past than she does. And to make matters worse, Mara is beginning to see people and things that can’t possibly be there. Or can they?
