RUSSO & CO performs for a crowd outside Grafton Pub during Grafton’s second Country Music Festival last weekend.
It was a busy fall weekend in Grafton with the second annual Country Music Festival, Chop Rod Ramble and people just taking a drive to check out the fall foliage.

It was hard to miss all the classic cars rolling down the Great River Road and into Grafton for Throttle America Chop Rod Ramble on Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Hawg Pit. Tons of hot rods, motorcycles, rat rod and muscle cars cruised into Grafton for the second year of the event at the Hawg Pit.
The streets were packed with folks in their best boots and cowboy hats to listen to all the bands playing at Grafton’s bars and restaurants and participate in the various contests during the Country Music Festival.
Dozens of classic cars and chop rods were also lining the streets of Grafton making their way to the Hawg Pit for the Chop Rod Ramble.
Excellent weather on Saturday only added to the enjoyment allowing visitors to stroll along the riverfront while others took their boats out on the river.
As the winter months approach there’s still plenty to look forward to in Grafton like the annual SantaCon and Winter Light Parade.
