GRAHAMSVILLE, NY — The 30th Annual Giant Pumpkin Party and Children’s Parade will be held on Saturday, October 3 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Grahamsville Fairgrounds. Admission and parking are free. The event is a benefit for the Daniel Pierce Library.

The children’s costume parade (open to children of all ages) will begin the day’s activities. This year’s theme is “Every Hero has a Story.” Marchers should assemble on the library lawn at 8:30 am. At 9 a.m., parade participants will march the quarter-mile route to the fairgrounds, where costume raffle winners will be announced. All entrants will receive a prize.

There will be music all day long and a variety of contests, including a giant-pumpkin contest, pumpkin decorating contest, country baking contest, obstacle course and hay-bale throw. “The Book Nook,” a custom-made, nine-hole miniature golf course will be featured again this year. Each hole has a different theme, based on a popular children’s book.

The Giant Pumpkin Party is a library benefit, and features the Better Book Sale, at which a collection of gently used books, the best of the best donated to the library over the course of the year, will be available. Other attractions include pony rides, haunted house, petting zoo, live country music, hay rides, hay maze and food.

For entry forms and contest rules, visit the website or call 845/985-7233.
