TOWNSHEND — Come celebrate fall's bountiful harvest during the 25th annual Pumpkin Festival, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday on the Townshend Common.
In addition to the giant pumpkin contest — past entries have weighed between 600 pounds and 700 pounds — there will be many activities for children, including pumpkin and scarecrow decorating contests and a Halloween costume parade.
There will also be vendors selling crafts, oil and watercolor paintings and pumpkin pies, whole and by the slice with whipped cream. Vendors interested in selling at the festival can call Harold Kvitek at 348-7913 or Walter Meyer at 365-4246.
