The festivities went on all day, from 1:00 until people left -- which was mostly after dinner, around 7 or so. The day included pumpkin carving (which resulted in some pretty creative jack-o-lanterns), canning, crafts, live music, and of course, FOOD! All in all, it was a great success! Cleanup afterwards even went smoothly; thanks to former EcoHouser Stephanie Porter's brilliant idea, a few big ol' tubs, and some soapy water, we created a big "wash-your-own-plate" dish line.
We all had a great time, and hope to make the event an EcoHouse tradition in years to come!
Pre-Harvest Fest: a visit to the pumpkin farm!
Pumpkin-head
This one was particularly warty...we liked him, but didn't think he'd carve too well.
