Entertainment, Festival, Volunteer Opportunities
This annual event benefits Howard Volunteer Fire Company and costs nothing to enter & attend. 80+ craft vendors, 20+ food vendors, hay rides, bounce house and of course, Punkin Chunkin. Air canons, trebuchets and catapults fire pumpkins into the lake.
Fun AND stewardship! We also welcome anyone to come to the clean-up on Sunday the 20th at 10:00 am. We leave the park better than we found it, picking up every minuscule scrap of trash. 90% of the trash is from summer beach goers, 10% from the festival on most years. We also gather any pumpkin scraps that wash up on the beach and return them to the Amish farm that donated them for feeding to their pigs. The rest feeds the fish and other wildlife – a green event that greatly readies the large beach area for the season the following year.
