There
was something for everyone during the 4th Annual Fall
Festival hosted by Holla’s Produce & Greenhouse in Blezard Valley
on September 30 and October 1. The cars were lined up for hundreds of
yards along both sides of Martin Road as residents of Valley East and
surrounding municipalities took advantage of some great autumn weather
to enjoy the wide variety of activities. Five year old, Stetson
Troscinski, front, and his four year old brother, Tyson, look a little
bit tired after emerging from the hay maze. Carole and Paul Holla
couldn’t have been more pleased with the turnout.
“It’s
been packed here both days,” Paul commented. “The kids are having a
great time with the animals, pony rides and other games we have set
up.”
In
addition to the games for the children, there was plenty to see and do
for adults as well, including several displays, presentations and a
small farmers’ market.
The
Fall Festival has grown into a very popular annual community event in
Valley East and is expected to continue to expand. The key to the
success of the occasion is that the organizers have presented a
fun-filled family weekend with enough different things to do and see
that one can spend hours on the site and still have something to keep
up their interest. It has been a well-planned mix of
entertainment, education and shopping which appeals to people of all
ages.
One
of the other activities which generated a lot of interest was the hay
ride. Marcel Michaud is shown driving the happy participants during one
of his rounds.
