A whole lot of things are happening Saturday, Oct. 13, during the chamber of commerce’s new Coulee Fall Festival.

Free hayrides are planned behind a horse-drawn wagon.

Another highlight will be a pet parade down Midway Avenue. Chamber Secretary Debbie Starkey said those bringing pets are asked to wear a costume to make the event more colorful. There’s no cost for those taking part in the parade. Staging area will be in Pepper Jack’s parking lot at 9:30 a.m. The 10 a.m. parade will take place on Midway Avenue.

Karaoke for kids will be offered at North Dam Park, beginning at noon and running to 4 p.m.

Kids can grab the mike and show off their talents, courtesy of the sponsor, Coulee Medical Center.

A community-wide yard sale is planned for North Dam Park from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Set-up begins at 7 a.m. Cost for those participating will be $5 for a 10-foot-by-10-foot space. Those taking part are asked to bring their own tables.

“The Grand Dames” will put on a three-night stand at the Grand Gallery Theatre on Grand Coulee’s Main Street, beginning Thursday night.

The musical review will be “A Short History of Western Music with a Salute to our Hero Gene Autry.”

The performance each night begins at 7:30 p.m. with the cost $5 per person.
