Sept. 27 marked the fourth annual Falcon Harvest Festival, organized by Everyday Properties & Investments and hosted at Falcon High School. The festival has quickly become one of the most popular local events, while highlighting a sense of community.
Crystal Betel and Sheila Smith, organizers, estimated somewhere between seven to 10,000 visitors for the day, exceeding the previous year’s 3,000 visitors.
The event included a mix of country music and classic rock. There were a variety of vendors, along with entertainment and food. A trailer filled with pumpkins from a Pueblo pumpkin patch drew many visitors, who were presented with a free pumpkin.
Vendors at the event were mainly locals. Products ranged from baked goods and birdhouses to wooden swords and wallets — something for everyone. Tally Kerr, who was recently featured in The New Falcon Herald in an article by Bill Radford, enjoyed a constant flow of guests exploring her traveling bookstore, Roadrunner Bookshop.
First responders were present to display their vehicles and gear, including a reinforced sheriff vehicle, which garnered plenty of attention. And there were games and inflatables for the kids. Food trucks were lined up as well.
Between 7 to 10,000 people showed up for the fourth annual Falcon Harvest Festival, held at Falcon High School.
