Community Engagement in Willow Creek's Harvest Festival

In the small town of Willow Creek, the annual Harvest Festival is a time for the community to come together and celebrate the end of the harvest season. Every year, families contribute homemade treats and crafts to a central booth where visitors can enjoy local goodies. This year, the festival organizers decided to introduce a new contest: a pumpkin carving competition. Residents young and old eagerly signed up to showcase their creativity. The festival included music, games for children, and a raffle with local prizes, drawing in people from neighboring towns.

During the festivities, several people noted how the new pumpkin carving contest not only added excitement to the event but also encouraged community members to engage with each other. Many families reported that they had worked together to create their pumpkin entries, which fostered teamwork and creativity.
