Local businesses are excited to celebrate autumn by participating in the 8th annual Pumpkin Festival on Saturday, Oct. 25 from 10 am to 1 pm on the grounds of the Randall L. Jones Theater.
The event is put on by the Cedar City Area Chamber of Commerce’s Women In Business and the Utah Shakespearean Festival. Andrea Cook, Women In Business President, said most of the supplies and activities are donated by local businesses and that the festival has been successful in the past due to the communities support.
For $5, children will receive a wristband to access most of the activities including cookie decorating, jumping in the leaf corral, and pumpkin painting. “It really is a great way for kids to enjoy the season,” said Cook.
The festival is put on as a fundraiser for the WIB scholarship program. “We appreciate the community’s support in our activities to build these scholarship funds throughout the year, - it really is a community effort,” said Cook. In December, two $500 scholarships will be awarded to women pursuing degrees at an Iron County university or college.
