Community Notes
Fall Festival
The City of Soda Springs will be hosting the Fall Festival this year, which will take place in the City Park. The event will not be able to be held in its traditional Main Street locations as a result of ongoing heavy construction that you may have noticed.
The Fall Festival will include more than 30 vendors, a cornhole tournament, a dance, a beer garden, bounce houses, and other fun. The Festival itself will take place from noon to 7 p.m., with the dance scheduled from 7:00 p.m. to midnight.
The cornhole tournament will offer both an adult and a youth division, and prceeds from the $25 team entry fees will go to Soda Springs Huigh School Girls Basketball Team. Register online at sodaspringsid.com. The tournament will start at 2:00 p.m. at City Park.
