The FFF Hostesses were asked to make all the contestants and escorts feel welcome when they arrived in Renovo, and they willingly jumped right in. Hostesses, from left, Sara Kepler, Carlie Gentzyel, 2020 Laurel Representative Tessa Cowfer and hostess Hailee Pollock grab small gifts to pass out as their peers arrived Friday afternoon. The festival includes a gigantic street parade on Saturday afternoon and the coronation of the 2019 Flaming Foliage Queen on Sunday afternoon at Bucktail Area High School.
