The Chamber of Commerce held Harvest Fest in downtown Redfield on Sat., Oct. 12. The event, held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., featured music, vendors, food, and free activities (which were mostly for children). There were bouncy houses, a small petting zoo, barrel train rides, a face painting table, and a pumpkin painting area. At least 140 pumpkins were painted. South of 7th Ave., classic cars were lined up for people to wonder at.
The Barstool Prophets of Aberdeen were the featured entertainment. They offered their own blend of popular, lesser known, and original songs. They had a sound that sounded both rock and country. The bandmembers were: Ryan, lead vocals; Grant, rhythm guitar; Joel, lead guitar; Tim, drums; Justin, bass; and Aldous on the keyboard. An appreciative crowd sat and watching the sets. At the end of the show, Ryan said “We had a good time.” Audience members replied “We did too!”
New chamber director Kim Leonhardt said that she’d had a lot of positive feedback. She stated that the event went very well, and noted that many people were involved in this. Leonhardt said “On behalf of the Redfield Area Chamber of Commerce, we would like to thank all of the volunteers, organizations, businesses and vendors that helped to make Harvest Fest 2024 a huge success! We appreciate everyone who attended and enjoyed the festivities. It was a beautiful day to celebrate the fall season with neighbors and friends. We love to see all those smiling faces. It was genuinely heart-warming.”
She said that it was later overheard that the event was “like a Hallmark movie,” meaning that it involved the community getting together in a wholesome way.
