“It was an awesome day.” These were the words of Theresa Beckett on Monday morning in the Victoria Town Hall following a hugely successful 35th Annual Autumn Days Celebration on Saturday.

Beckett, along with town officials and employees, were instrumental in helping organize and plan the event this past weekend that saw huge crowds along Main Street and in the Victoria Railroad Park area.

With a day full of musical talent, vendors, events and activities, the town was full of many local citizens as well as many visitors from outside of Victoria. From the return of the pet parade to new events like the lawn mower drag races and hay bale decorating contest, this Autumn Days proved to be jam-packed full of fun.

Interim Victoria Town Manager Jay Dayton stated, “I have been to many Autumn Days events and Saturday was an absolutely great day.” He continued on to note the hard work and effort from the town employees and help from the Victoria Town Council that brought the event back again for the thirty-fifth year under the town’s direction.

Victoria officials also praised the local businesses and citizens who stepped in and helped make Autumn Days possible this year.
