On Sunday, Oct. 20 from 3 to 7 p.m., the campus of Morning Star Church
will transform into The Great Pumpkin Festival. With activities such as hayrides, pumpkin decorating, a chili cook-off, pumpkin chunkin and bon fires to roast marshmallows, the Great Pumpkin Festival will appeal to individuals and families of all ages.
What will be noticeably absent that day, however, are people’s wallets. That’s what sets the Great Pumpkin Festival apart from similar festivals and events in the metro area: Rather than serving as a fundraiser, the event is completely free to the community.
