Harvest Fest

On Halloween, my friends and I attended Harvest Fest in the freshman quad. It was sunny and warm for late October, so it was a great day to be outside. The students running the event were dressed up in Halloween costumes. There was a line of tables set up where vendors sold crafts and jewelry. Pumpkins were arranged next to the vendors. If you picked a pumpkin, you could paint and decorate it. On the other end of the quad, there was food. Veggie burgers, squash soup, and pumpkin pie were being served to eat and the available drinks were water, hot chocolate, and apple cider. There was also a bowl of fruit and a bike that powered a blender, so people could make smoothies.

My friends and I came to Harvest Fest around lunchtime, so we got food first. We all enjoyed what we ate. In the middle of the quad, a stage was set up for live music. We listened to the bands and singers as we ate. A lot of groups from the Music Union performed. After we ate, we went over to the vendors. We browsed the items, and we were all given free Halloween candy. Inside the TRLC clothing, books, and household items were being given away so we looked through that stuff, too.

After looking around, we went back to our table to watch and listen to more musicians. It started to get cooler out, so we drank hot beverages as we enjoyed the performances. This event lasted all afternoon, and we stayed for a long time. It was a great event, and it seemed to be enjoyed by many. This event happens once a year, and I will continue to go. Harvest Fest was a nice way to spend Halloween.
