It's Harvest Festival Time

Every year our church holds a Harvest Festival that's open to the community as well as our parishioners.  Yesterday [October 12th] was the day and Mother Nature provided beautiful fall weather.  I couldn't attend because I had to work, but my hubby was a volunteer helper so I asked him to take lots of pictures for me.  He complied and took over 50 pictures but I'll only share a few.

There were all kinds of activities... hayrides, pumpkin painting, corn hole, a petting zoo, horseback riding, a bouncy house, a row of about 15 cars for trunk or treating, and lots of food - a chili cook-off competition, hot dogs, hamburgers, cider, donuts and more.  It was very well attended and a huge success. The fire department even showed up for the children to see the fire engine.

Our church sits on 23 acres of property so there was plenty of room for all the activities.







Granddaughter, Brooke, bought a lion costume for her cat, Gus, to coordinate with her Wizard of Oz theme.

Daughter-in-law, Sharon, and her mom with their Snoopy theme.


My sweet friend, Lori, and her husband Rick with their spider theme.


Rows of crock pots filled with chili for the cook-off contest.



Come and get it!


While all this fun was going on, I was at The Whitney serving our signature fall tea, "Apple Cinnamon" black tea to our guests at Mansion Tea.

How have you been celebrating fall?
