One of the more challenging rides at the Miller Fall Festival was the rotating hearts. While centrifugal force from spinning raised the seats off the ground, the riders could turn the wheel at center and make the heart spin as well. Ready to try their hands on the ride were Thomas Burton, at left, and Collin Morrow.

Attractions from Bluff City Shows extended this year the length of the downtown business district in Miller for the Miller Fall Festival. Bigger rides occupied both ends of the street, though some attractions, like the slide, were not in use because of the rain.

The Miller Fall Festival is joint project by the Miller American Legion Post and Lions Club. Funds were raised to cover costs by the Lions cooking and selling fish sandwiches and the Festival Committee running bingo games in the Legion hall. A large crowd gathered in the Legion to escape from the rain and enjoy bingo.
