 E. D. Smith School Principal Nancy Bradds extends a warm welcome to everyone in the community to attend this year’s Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 7, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at 1701 Shafor Blvd.
This festival has evolved from being a PTO pumpkin sale into a day for celebrating community and family fun. “This is why we thought it was just the right setting for the ribbon cutting ceremony of the new gazebo,” explained Bradds.
Parents of young children know there are numerous creative craft stations that keep their children busy as they catch up on neighborhood news. The competitive crowd looks forward to the tug-of war challenges, sack races and other relay games. Enthusiastic epicureans come because they know of the bake sale’s reputation. This year the product line has again expanded way beyond pies.
Local artist and Edwin D. Smith parent, Peter Berwald, will be painting pumpkins at the school’s all day Harvest Festival which will take place on Saturday, Oct. 7. Other activities include scarecrow constructing, old-fashioned games, local artist and sculptors and other free fall craft activities. Healy Jackson is chair of this event.
Yes, all the supplies a family needs to construct a scarecrow to take home will be available. Yes, there will be pumpkins, bales of straw, and corn shocks available for purchase. There will also be local artists painting pumpkins and pumpkin carvers demonstrating their skills throughout the day.
“I hope everyone will feel welcome,” said Bradds. Most activities go on all day but the dedication begins at noon and the field games follow.
Smith Elementary School and the Oakwood Foundation invite everyone to a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to dedicate the new Gazebo. The ceremony will be at noon on Saturday, Oct. 7, and will be located behind Smith School in the playground area. Members of the Smith elementary band will be playing at this event.
The Gazebo was a joint effort between Smith School PTO and the Oakwood Foundation to create a space where students can find a quiet spot during recess to read or talk with friends. It is also a place where community members can relax and visit while their children are on the playground.
Please join us in dedicating this wonderful addition to Smith School and the entire Oakwood community.
