2016 Pumpkin Festival
October 15 & 16

The Minges Pumpkin Festival has been an annual celebration of the fall season for three decades. What was once a small backyard gathering has grown over the years into an event that brings together thousands of people from all over the region. Like many of you, we were saddened to hear the news that 2014 would be the final festival hosted by the Minges family at their farm. The Minges and Weber families have known each other for many years, and because of this, the decision was made to approach them to see if there was any interest in seeing this festival continue. From the beginning, we really had two questions. Would the idea of the festival continuing interest them, and if so, would they be willing to help in some capacity? Needless to say, if the answer had been no to either question then this would not be happening. We knew it was essential for us to obtain their blessing, but we also knew that this could not be done without their guidance and support. At that point, both families began discussing what exactly it would take, and how a festival of this size could be moved. Over the past several months, we've discussed seemingly every detail that goes into hosting this event, and everyone involved is confident that it can and will be done. We understand that this will not be an easy task, but we're committed to the future of this festival and our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible. We also realize that the first year at the new location will go a long way in convincing all of you that this festival is in capable hands. With that being said, however, we must ask for everyone's patience and understanding during this transition. We look forward to this new challenge and we're fully aware of the history surrounding the festival and how beneficial this event is to many organizations within this community. We are extremely grateful to the Minges family and everyone involved for all that they have done, and all that they will do in the coming months. Their involvement and contributions will be the reason this event succeeds moving forward. We look forward to seeing you this fall!
