Sunday is the BIG day in the Ferry. It is the 51st annual Pumpkin Roll! The day starts with the Odd Fellows serving breakfast starting at 8:00 a.m. in the I.O.O.F. Hall with ham, eggs, pancakes, juice and coffee on the menu. The Community Clubhouse will be open with craft booths inside and on the tennis court. All Knights Ferry students will have their Fall Art Projects on display in the Museum and Library at Miller’s Hall. Sign-ups for the rolling start at 11:00 a.m. in front of the clubhouse. The 5 and under children will roll at noon on the tennis court and then at 1:00 p.m. the seniors start rolling on the street. Since the county over laid the street we will see what happens to the pumpkins. After the seniors, the boys and girls, teenagers and women and men will roll. Winners are the persons who get the pumpkin closest to the line, and they get a genuine simulated gold trophy.

While in town for the Pumpkin Roll, check out the many places to get a bit to eat and see what has been happening to some of the buildings. The Odd Fellows have a new roof, Miller’s Hall has new gutters, the Masons have new steps, Kirkpatrick’s have removed their trees, and River Journey has a spiffy building. It is always a fun day!
