Harvest Festival
October 2011
This year's Annual Harvest Festival was held on Saturday, October 15th, 2011. A variety of booths were open to the public and included crafts, baked goods, a "country store," and a rummage sale. Following lunch, children's activities were added and included pony rides, bouncy-bounces, face painting, and pumpkin decorating. Later on in the evening, a spectacular BBQ dinner was offered to help celebrate the best of the autumn cuisine!

On October 16th, the First Congregational Church invited the community to join us during our annual Harvest Festival which featured locally-produced goods including baked items, crafts, and jewelry, as well as a church rummage sale. Children’s activities included a petting zoo, pony rides, pumpkin-painting, a bouncy-bounce, and fresh cotton candy.
The Harvest Pot Roast Dinner featured locally grown produce – Butternut Squash soup, roasted potatoes, and seasonal vegetables. Apple Crisp with Ice Cream will rounded out the meal.
We had a sold-out crowd with record numbers! Thanks to everyone who attended and participated!!
