Join us downtown October 4th for some fall fun!

🍂The Second Annual Ham City Fall Fest is almost here, and downtown Effingham is turning into one big pumpkin patch on Saturday, October 4th! 🎃

We’re kicking off the day with our FallFest 5K Run/Walk at 10 AM 🏃‍♂️, followed by an incredible Downtown Brunch to fuel up at 10:30. By 11 AM, the streets come alive with our Kids Corner, live music, food, and beer flowing all day long. 🍻🍁

Think hay bales, pumpkins, music drifting through the streets, and the best kind of small-town celebration where neighbors, families, and friends all come together. ❤️

📢 Do us a favor: like + share this flyer to help us spread the word. Let’s pack downtown with fall spirit and make year two even bigger than the first!

Our Story

In the year 2000, a little girl named Molly dreamed of one day having a pet shoppe better than the rest in her town. Even at the young age of 12, she knew she could give critters the care they deserve, and her father knew it too. Inspired by the twinkle in her eye and heart on her sleeve, Gayland Bourland left his career in furniture to make his daughters wish a reality. Almost two decades later, it’s no surprise that Molly, now with a degree in animal science, has joined her father in running Noah’s Ark Pet Shoppe. Even her son, Elijah, is in on the gig, providing love and care to the future pets of Effingham. With amphibians, birds, and furballs galore, we have everything you need to make your child’s dream come true.
