Fall Festival food booths share record-breaking fundraising

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WEHT) – Almost every year, people find themselves walking through rain to get a taste of all the food offered at the Westside Nut Club’s Fall Festival. This year was different, with five days of sunny skies, each booth raised money for a cause they are passionate about.

While higher ingredient costs forced some booths to change their prices to match, Catalyst Church Pastor David Whitmore said they haven’t changed theirs in five years, and higher foot traffic offset the cost of doing so. Roger Rogge of the Marian Educational Outreach booth said they had to enlist a few more volunteers to keep up with the overflow.

Eyewitness News Reporter Sydney Davis was live at the Fall Festival last week to report on how booths were able to provide both more good food and more money for good causes. You can view her report in the video player above.
