This event began as the Minges Pumpkin Festival in 1984. Over the years the minges family transformed the event from a small backyard gathering into an event that brings together thousands of people from all over the region.

In 2015 the festival relocated to a neighboring family farm and a tradition that began over three decades ago continues just a few minutes away.

This is an annual event that takes place the third full weekend in October and serves as a community wide celebration of the fall season.
