The Mallett Brothers Band gathers the crowd for their headline performance.
The County FCU recently held their annual Fall Festival to End Hunger at Big Rock Mountain in Mars Hill and raised just shy of $50,000 for local food pantries.
“Since its beginning, the Fall Festival to End Hunger has received tremendous support from the communities we serve,” said James Mattila, COO at The County FCU. “Year after year, local businesses, residents, and community partners come together to make this event a success through their generosity, involvement, and shared commitment to fighting hunger. We’re incredibly proud of our team’s efforts and grateful for the relationships we’ve developed with organizations like the Aroostook Area Agency on Aging, Big Rock Mountain, Mars Hill Country Club, area ATV clubs, and our local media partners. Their continued support is a testament to what we can accomplish when we work together for a common cause.”
The Fall Festival to End Hunger is a music and food festival held annually at Big Rock Mountain in Mars Hill on the first Saturday in October. Last year, The County added an ATV ride-in and golf tournament. Big Rock also offered scenic rides to the top of the mountain. The event, headlined by The Mallett Brothers Band, drew nearly 1,200 attendees. The associated golf tournament had 84 players, and the ATV Ride-In had nearly 100 riders.
“The Fall Festival to End Hunger has been growing by leaps and bounds over the last three years,” said Dan Bagley, The County FCU’s EVP. “Our motto of ‘People Helping People’ drives every fundraising effort and everything we do in our communities. All proceeds we raise go back into local food pantries for our friends and neighbors.”
Next year’s event is already being planned for Saturday, October 2, 2027, rain or shine. To learn more about the Fall Festival to End Hunger, go to www.CountyFallFestival.org or call 1-877-318-3838.
