Pumpkinfest is going On-Line in light of COVID-19!
July 1, 2020
The Pumpkinfest Board of Directors is proud to announce that Pumpkinfest 2020 is going ahead! It will take place on Oct 3rd, as originally planned, but it will have some special modifications.
It will not look like it has in the past! Working closely with the Grey-Bruce Health Unit and the Municipal and Provincial governments we will meet all guidelines and recommendations while we continue to offer this great festival experience in a new way.
This year’s event will be presented as a web-based streaming event that continues to feature our famous International Giant Vegetable Weigh-Off! Additional events will be added as the committees meet and start to format the new attractions and events.
“I’m proud of the Pumpkinfest Board members for being so proactive and thoughtful in their decision” states coordinator, Joanne Robbins “amidst a number of event cancellations they are moving forward with excitement and enthusiasm and are confident we can deliver a fantastic event while staying socially responsible.”

It is disturbing that health officials are directing outdoor events Like this to an indoor on camera event! The outdoor festival in the fall with all its beauty of autumn colours on the trees as people walk through exhibits provide a pleasurable calming effect and exercise that are both vital to our Mental health and overall feeling of well being. It’s an outdoor event where people should not be afraid to enter! These restrictions are going to cause more long term effects on health and wellness deeming us unable to properly fight co vid if ever acquiring it. All this for a virus that for many is asymptomatic when “infected“! So very sad

Good to here of your plans to carry on in a virtual format.
I will work on some ideas options for visitors to your site to drop into a virtual OPG Environment Tent.
