About This Event
The Matherville Fire Station Fall Festival runs Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Ole School Venue, 11 Matherville Poplar Springs Road in Waynesboro, Mississippi. The event is held for the Northeast Fire District and honors Chief Al Harrison, with proceeds supporting his medical expenses.
The car show takes $25 entries, with registration from 8 to 11 a.m., judging from 11 a.m. to noon and trophies presented at 1 p.m. Cars and trucks are judged in separate classes, except for 2000 and newer models, which are combined. Classes cover pre-1950s, 1950–65, 1966–79, 1980–95, 2000 and up, rat rods and unfinished vehicles, Jeeps and 4x4s, imports, motorcycles and 18-wheelers. Entries receive a 100-point judged sheet, and winners take home horizontal placards. Spectators attend free.
Food vendors include Grits & Grace, Omanonos Catering and Uniquely Blessed Foods. A silent auction collects handmade donations such as quilts, blankets, wood items, jams and jellies. Kids games offer 15 to 20 fair-style activities with $1 tickets, and a cornhole tournament kicks off at 11 a.m. at $25 a person. Gospel, country and bluegrass music plays throughout the day, and vendor booths carry arts and crafts, handmade goods, antiques and collectibles, and direct sales. Event T-shirts cost $15 in sizes S–XL and $17 in 2XL and larger, ordered ahead through CashApp to SNEFireDist with the size in the memo.
