If you are looking for another fun fall activity, the Asbury Student Activities Cabinet (SAC) and the Aldersgate apartments are preparing the perfect event for your family and friends. The annual Harvest Festival kicks off on Saturday, Oct 26th at 6:00 PM.
The festival will include activities such as bobbing for apples, sack races, plentiful vendors to shop from and photo opportunities.
“There will be a variety of vendors,” said SAC member Dalton Fleshood, “ vendors will be selling baked goods, sublimation cups, crochet animals, jewelry, art, woodwork, clothing, and many more goods.”
Additionally, the event will include live music throughout the evening provided by Asbury’s very own Jude Lins.
The annual Aldersgate Chili Cookoff will also be taking place during the festival, giving everyone a chance to taste the contestants’ chili and decide which one is the best. A panel of four judges will be judging the Chili Cookoff and voting and handing out awards to the cooks.
