Pumpkin Fest another sign Fall is here!
The once Fall Fling, Canton’s Pumpkin Festival, is growing! This two day event was held this past weekend, welcoming October.
The festival is enjoyed with a donation at the gate. The donation goes to the Fire Department, to continue to support local outreaches such as Giving Tree, Endless Mountain Pregnancy Care Center, Little League, Summer Lunch, and The Food Pantry.
Over 125 vendors brought their creations to share! Events and Vendors included wood crafts and furniture from various makers including a demonstration of wood carving by Jamie Weber of Mansfield. This was Jamie’s first year attending the event.
Also available were handmade soaps, beauty supplies, jewelry and household tools and decor. Meghan Graham of Dixie Run Craft Creations shared her excitement to come and see all the people. She traveled from Morris with her unique vinyl drink ware, wreathes and trees. There was also a Blacksmith on site at work.
Other entertainment included Stitches the clown, Electric Sunshine band, Logan Route, and Melinda’s School of Dance. There was something for everyone to enjoy. Sounds included Alternative, Country and Pop. Each brought something original.
The event was a success for all your fall senses. Food was also a hit. The fireman fired up the grill for burgers and sausage sandwiches. Another favorite was the maple cotton candy.
Thank you to all who came out! See you and hopefully even more next year.
