Harvest Festival Fun
O Costume

There was a bit of a chill in the air but that didn’t bother the crowd that turned out for Saturday night’s Harvest Festival in Valley Home.

The Oct. 26 community event served up a wide variety of activities, from games and a costume contest for kids, a haunted hayride, treats such as popcorn and cotton candy, even a pumpkin decorating contest. Food was available for purchase, with a benefit tri-tip dinner served, and a number of options in the harvest kitchen set up in the Valley Home School multipurpose building. That’s also where a number of silent auction items and class baskets were up for bid and where attendees could take a seat and enjoy a couple of games of Bingo. Also on hand for the evening were firefighters and members of the Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Department.
