Holmes County residents gathered for festive fall fun over the weekend at Prosperity Park in Westville, where the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) hosted a fall festival on Saturday, October 25. The HCSO partnered with local churches and organizations to bring the event to life, including West Pittman Baptist Church, Hickory Hill Baptist Church, Mt. Pleasant Assembly of God, and Doctor’s Memorial Hospital. Families enjoyed a variety of activities, from games and inflatables to pony rides and food vendors, making for a lively and welcoming atmosphere. The fall festivities will continue on Friday, October 31, when the HCSO hosts an additional event during Bonifay’s citywide trick-or-treat.
