FALL FEVER strikes again in Kingfisher’s downtown. This welcome annual affliction has offices and businesses up and down Main Street piling on the pumpkins, hay bales and other festive autumnal decor to mark the changing of the seasons and to compete for bragging rights in the fall decorating contest sponsored each year by the Kingfisher Chamber of Commerce.
