WOW! What a success the 1st Annual Harvest Fest Party was held on October 31, 2006, at the Powhatan County Fair Grounds located on Rt. 60.. It is estimated between 2,500 to 4,000 adults and children attended the night of family fun. The event was not only for children to have a safe, fun place to go on Halloween, but also to give back to some of our non-profit organizations in our community. Well, It definitely did both!  See the Special Thank You Letter to all that made it possible as posted by Steve Glazebrook on November 3, 2006.

The event was a fundraiser for the Powhatan Sheriff's Department, County Fire Department and County Rescue Squad, to support the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Powhatan County Fair Association. It was scheduled from 5-9 PM and the line of traffic coming off Route 60 from East and West started around 5:00 PM and continued steady until around 5:30 PM, at which time the parking lots and other areas designated for parking were running over. We are sorry, if any may have been turned away. Arangements for additional parking will have to be made before next years event.

The community really came out for this event. But rightly so, for there was something for all age groups. For the Trick Or Treaters, the community residents joined in by decorating their vehicles and filled the trunks with candy or other items for them. It was a real "Trunk A Treat." The decorated cars were judged and the winners received event plaques donated by area businesses. Event the Sheriff's Department and Rescue Squad joined in and had items for the kids.
