Honea Path Celebrates Fall with Food, Music, Contests

Greg Wilson/Anderson Observer

It was something new for the town and Honea Path’s Fall Festival on Main was met with beautiful fall weather and large crowds on Saturday.

The festival combined the events with the annual Honey Soppin’, which kicked off the day with the spirited contest Saturday, with new winners in both categories.

Marty Fleming, who was upset in last year’s biscuit-and-honey-eating contest after years as reigning champion, regained his crown easily on Saturday to take home the $100 prize.

Pam McCoy won the women’s contest.

Saturday’s festival also featured live music, dancing, arts and crafts vendors and food.
