FYFFE, Ala.—The Folks at Fyffe are getting ready for out of this world fun on Saturday, Aug. 29.  It is time for UFO Day.  This will be the eleventh time that the town made famous by the search for flying saucers has celebrated this festival.The entertainment (see the tentative schedule below) will get underway at 10 a.m., but the gates will be open at 9:00 to give everyone time to enjoy the other activities.  There will be live music, arts and crafts, antique cars and tractors.  There will even be hot air balloons to get an up-in-the-air look at Fyffe and any aliens flying into town.

It will be a very affordable family entertainment – admission is free.  And it should be safe – a judge will be singing with Still Kickin’ and a county deputy, Willie Underwood will be singing.  Most importantly, Barney Fife will be there to provide protection as he meets and greets the crowd.  He will be sure that any problems are nipped in the bud.

So don’t worry about little green men, though there are guaranteed to be Red Devils there.  Come early and stay late to see if Billy Joe Royal will take you down to the boondocks.  Then drive back home watching the sky closely for any new UFOs.
