Fall: Have you ever heard of Chester Greenwood? Well the next time your ears get cold and you slip on a pair of warm earmuffs, make sure you thank him. Chester actually invented them and believe it or not in this state, it was a big deal! Big enough, that in the town of Farmington where Chester lived there is a whole day’s celebration just for him! What would a celebration be without a parade with floats and of course, the Chester Greenwood Flag Raising at the Franklin County Courthouse following that parade. Farmington’s Historical Society display vintage Greenwood items at the
Titcomb House, as well as selling holiday wreaths. Adding to the festival’s fun, the chamber sponsors gingerbread house building contest. After the parade and special events like the chili cook-off stop by the Farmington Rotary Club's Annual Festival of Trees held at the Granary Restaurant or stick around for the auction of the trees taking place that evening. The Polar Bear Club members annual dip into frigid Clearwater Lake will take place that afternoon and as you can imagine is always a crowd pleaser!
