What a wonderful Pumpkin Weekend!!!
FUN Fellowship, Community Service, Fundraising, and loads of Community Engagement!
Although the Sunday mist may have dampened visitor turnout, the festival guests came out in droves on Saturday to visit the overall Festival and the Community House Venue where they enjoyed great music, delicious reasonably priced food, fun family activities, and could learn about 24 local non-profit initiatives. The attendance at Fri & Sat evening's BWS Tasting Tent was great with a rough estimate total of 1186 attendees over 2 nights.
Many thanks to everyone who came to help! Thank you for being present, flexible, and simply jumping in! The early AM set-up crews rocked it!! The volunteers throughout the day kept the magic going. The BWS volunteers tossed in lots more of the "secret sauce" to make Fri & Sat nights fabulous! The Sunday daytime crew and the Sunday clean-up crew were all Rock Stars! We were re-organized and all cleaned up in record time!
And we, along with the Milford Lions Club, owe a big thank you to the Milford Recreation Dept, Scouting Troop 1794, and Milford High School Art Students Group for managing the Scarecrows. Pumpkins. and Face Painting! Once again, the Milford High Varsity Soccer Teams and the Alvirne-Milord Admirals Hockey Team were dynamite teenagers to work with! We greatly appreciate all of their help and participation!
THANK YOU to our Sponsors!!

Free Stuff Alert - Kokko Realty gave us the leftover small pumpkins and there are 4 bales of hay in Rotary Park. Need some decorations? Please feel free to take what you need.
We'll leave the park entrance decorated for a week or so and then clean that up.
