  • Young Dayna Frost admires her new Pokémon face paint, compliments of artist Sara Bickler, as her chaperone Courtney Chappell looks happily on.

  • Joann Lamb (left), who pieced the quilt of her own creation together, which was sewn-in by Jorja Hernandez displays their result along with Andrea Spencer. Her daughter-in-law, Belle Spencer, is the coordinating point-person for the Harvest Fest, saying, “All the funds this year will go into improving the Glendale Town Park. And the next year, hopefully, it’ll be a really great event, and it’ll just keep kind of improving the park with the money that we get. That’s the plan!” This year’s raffle drawing-winner is local highly esteemed Americana poet, Myrna Cox.

  • The newly-christened Harvest Fest, changed recently from the longtime traditional Glendale Apple Festival, hosting numerous countrified activities, including the William Tell Archery Contest. This year’s prize-winners are: Bryce Adair among Senior Division [first place $100], Jeremy Houston [second place $50, plus $100 for hitting the apple] and Brian Kelly [third place $50]. Junior Shooters are: Jayne Adair [first place $100], Porter Roundy [second place $50] and Dillon Roundy [third place $50, plus $100 for hitting the apple]. Pee-Wee awards went to Shad Roundy [first place $100], Colton Roundy [second place $50, plus an Accubow worth $150 for hitting the apple] and Tracen Barnard [third place $50].

  • VHS Senior Jack Barnes fashioned this spooky pumpkin, for which he won a $25 gift card for Strawz Watering Hole.

  • Gaige Spencer going for the mandatory eight seconds to the wildly enthusiastic hoots-and-hollers encouragement of family and friends.

  • “All Aboard the Scavenger Hunt Express!” Moms and kids alike get together to head out for one of 10 listed activities to be checked off on the way to claiming a prize from Joann Lamb at the information booth. Items include high fiving a scarecrow and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
