Fall Harvest Festival set for Oct. 4

Youngsters look through over an assortment of pumpkins on display during last year's Fall Harvest Festival.

A local tradition returns to Mountain Home as the Chamber of Commerce hosts its 18th Annual Fall Harvest Festival on Oct. 4.

Hosted by the chamber's community activities committee, the event will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. that day in the city's downtown area.

The celebration grew from the city's former Oktoberfest into an event designed to mark the end of southern Idaho's annual farming season. It represents a final activity for the community before the winter begins -- a final outdoor get together, organizers said.
