Whitewright -- The firemen's chili was a' boilin', classic cars were all a' shinin' and the crowd just kept a' comin' to the 10th annual Grand Street Fall Festival in Whitewright this past Sunday, November 3.

Blessed with picture perfect weather, historic downtown Whitewright swelled to record levels with the influx of residents and visitors in town for this annual autumn highlight.
