The community is invited to celebrate the fall and end of road construction at the Harvest Festival 2-5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 30, at The Yards on Sheyenne.
“The goal of this event is twofold – say goodbye to road construction and get customers back to The Yards,” said Thunder Coffee co-owner and The Yards Business Association president Nicole Dutton.
During the event, a variety of activities will be hosted in various Sheyenne Street parking lots between 7th Avenue W. and 2nd Avenue W. These include hammerschlagen, pumpkin smashing, a mini petting zoo, a photo booth, lawn games, prizes, and great fall food. Horse-drawn wagon rides will depart from the Faith + Journey Lutheran Church parking lot, where there will also be mini-barrel rides. In addition, the West Fargo Public Library’s Little Red Reading Bus will be at the event with fall-themed crafts and a pop-up library.
The VFW, Silver Dollar, and Thunder Coffee will have drink specials during the event. The event will also include a passport that can be stamped at businesses in The Yards and turned in to enter a prize drawing.
Free parking will be available at Faith+Journey Lutheran Church, Choice Bank, Silver Dollar, The Yards on Sheyenne public lot, and on-street along Sheyenne Street.
