Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival

Yesterday my mom and sister decided to come give us a short visit for the weekend. Preston and I were already planning on going to the Hartsburg Pumpkin Festival which only takes place one weekend each October so they went along with us. Hartsburg, MO is where most of Preston's dad's family lived throughout the years and Preston's family even lived there for a while when he was really young. Hartsburg now has a population of less then 200 people (that may even include a few family pets...haha). Despite the fact that it is a small dot on the map the pumpkin festival still draws in literally thousands of people during this one weekend. It was a really neat experience that I'm sure we will do again next year. They have lots of vendors, but of course the Pumpkins are the main event. We loaded up Noah in his little wagon and set off. He had a great time despite having a cold. Due to his cold he didn't smile much in any of the pictures, but he really did enjoy himself! Oh yeah! Great Aunt Sandy and cousin Brittany worked a cotton candy booth and gave him a free bag. Thanks!!
