Sorry to be so late with an answer but I just got back in the house from dealing with the problems at the Pumpkin Festival in Hartsburg. We probably had 15,000 to 18,000 people today and most had to park along the gravel roads south of town. The sheriff's deputies park cars along the left side of the road and the parking stretched all the way to the river which is 1 to 2 miles away from town. If the farmer's fields dry up we will use one of them to park but 6 plus inches of rain just doesn't go away in a day or two. I will say that everyone had a great time once they got to town. Come visit us tomorrow but wear your long johns as it will be cool.
