Don’t get lost, United Way invites residents to attend Fall Fair and Pumpkin Festival

The United Way 50th anniversary Fall Fair and Pumpkin Festival is scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend to help raise money for the United Way Alberta Northwest.

During the event, parents and kids are encouraged to grab a wagon and head to the pumpkin patch to pick out the best ones. Kids are encouraged to dress up to boost the Halloween atmosphere.

This year’s event boasts nine activities on the lineup, including wagon rides, carnival games, food trucks, a smores bar, and of course the corn maze in the shape of the United Way’s 50th anniversary logo.

Attendees are also encouraged to participate in the 2024 Heli-drop event for a chance to win “lots of cash” for the price of $25 per ball.

The event is scheduled for October 12th and 13th from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on both days, closed on the holiday Monday.
