It is with great pleasure that our 2017 PumpkinFest Committee officially steps up and begins their game plan this year.
We begin by first having you mark your calendars for our
11th Annual
2017 Great Pumpkin Festival
here in
North Smithfield, RI.
September 16, 2017, 10am – 4pm.
Next, we extend an invitation to one and all, to come and be a part of our festivities and bear witness to our
11th Annual - 2017 Great Pumpkin Festival. We have a “few” things to coordinate every year and sincere, dedicated
individuals who want to be involved in their community can find plenty of things to get accomplished to help pull
this festival together, for another successful year.
Our 2017 PumpkinFest Committee would also like to introduce our first NS PumpkinFest Graduating Senior Scholarship,
applications available in the NS High School Guidance Office or this website. That's one lucky student!
Once again, we encourage all non-profit, not for profit as well as any local small businesses to resister
for a booth and get some great local attention in a very safe family environment. You can expect us to be reaching out soon,
but if you haven't particapated previously and would like to bring some attention to any family friendly business, apply now,
for applications see the download page on this web site.
And for our attendees, button design is approved and the order is being placed. We will be updating this web site with
information on where and when the buttons will make their debue this year. We look forward to seeing you all, for it is
you who make our day worthwhile. For without you this would just be a fruitless endeavor.
PumpkinFest Committee will be meeting at 6 PM on the following dates at the North Smithfield Town Hall,
unless contacted to indicate that these dates
have been changed due to weather or family emergencies.
Hope to see you at our next meeting, “many hands make lite work!”
