PHOTOS: Rock Creek's Harvest Festival attracts more than 1,000 people
Photos and story by James Hill
The Harvest Festival, which featured hayrides, attracted more than 1,000 people on Saturday, Oct. 25. There was a significant focus this year on sustainability, featuring cornstarch products used at the sampling tables (pumpkin recipes); no printed agendas or maps were used as information was disseminated via several large signs; reusable products were utilized throughout the event minimizing use of disposables and therefore minimizing the impact on the waste stream; and tours were given throughout the day highlighting the kitchen waste-to-worm bin-garden loop.
Greywind the Llama also participated.
