Annual Cotton Boll Festival held on the second Saturday in September. The Festival is filled with activities for all ages, live music, food, crafts, Cotton Boll Queen Contest and topped off with a street dance.

The Festival honors the Cotton Farmers and businesses that support the industry.  The event is sponsored by the Ralls Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture.

The Boll counting contest is a tradition to see what cotton stock  has the most green cotton bolls on it.  Some judges have counted up to 75 bolls on one stock.  There is also  a competition for the largest weed that farmers don't usually brag about.

 

 

The festival is a great place to shop for crafts, eat lots of Bar BQ, hear live music and get reacquainted with old friends.

The Ralls Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture honors a local farming family each year as "Mr. and Mrs. Cotton Boll"

 

"Twin fiddlers"  Live music ranging from country, rock and gospel play all day under the big tent.

Local entertainers show off their many talents.

Grand Pa, helps out with the big event of the day..."The kids tractor pull."  Each contestant pedals as much weight as they can for the longest distance.

Young ladies enter into the Cotton Boll Queen contest.  Each division is classified by age.  Miss Cotton Boll. Junior Miss, and Little Miss.
