Harrisburg Harvest Festival

During this Friday and Saturday event, food and merchant vendors are open for spectators. Horseshoe pits, hay wagon rides and a kid zone help make this a family-focused event. While the annual event does good things for the local economy, its main focus and mission are to create awareness and generate financial support for local FFA programs. (Future Farmers of America.)

When local businesses and corporations sponsor the Harvest Festival, they aren’t just helping us to put on a tractor and truck pull. They are indirectly helping kids who want to advance their education in agriculture. Tools, trips, special classes and machinery are also sponsored.
