The 63rd annual Greenbrier Fall Festival was held Nov. 1, in support of the Greenbrier School District. Students and parents sold Savers Cards and sponsored a drawing for the grand prize of a Honda four-wheeler with a trailer.
Students were also elected to represent their class or grade as this year's Fall Festival Kings and Queens.
These students and their families worked throughout the month of October hosting other fundraisers to help raise a total of $80,000 this year.
As part of the festivities, a silent auction was held and favorite carnival games including an old fashioned cakewalk were enjoyed by all at the high school. Then, on Saturday night, the coronation ceremony to present and crown this year's Fall Festival Royalty was held at Panther Pavilion.
From the 51 king/queen class representatives, nine overall king/queen winners were announced at the ceremony.
Those winners include:
High school winners: juniors King Zac Brown-Perry and Queen Veronika Kowolik.
Junior high winners: freshmen King AJ Boyd and Queen Devin Stacks.
Middle school winners: seventh-graders King Malik Wright and Queen Meena Wassner.
Fifth-grade winners: King Andrew Knopp and Queen Taylor Penrod from Westside Elementary.
