The evening concluded with a Barn Dance featuring local artists Tim Castle & Young Southern.

There were several kids games to play — and a lot of kids to play them — at Pumpkindaze. /Earlene Frederick photo
The weather was nice, but if it had not been, the town had the capacity to move activities into the large spaces in the Fire Station/Highway Building. The craft and vendor fair show here was set-up inside regardless. /Earlene Frederick photo

Big thanks to all who really advanced the event, w-o-r-k-e-d long and unusual hours to MAKE IT HAPPEN! The SAFETY-VESTers and the PUMPKIN SHIRTers ESPECIALLY… as anyone who entertains knows, the event is still occurring with the take-down, put-away, clean-up, make-it-like-it-was efforts all at the same time as keeping the regluar daily life moving along smoothly!
