The Hometown Harvest Festival in Hightstown is celebrating its 15th year on Saturday Oct. 7, 2017, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
“It’s always an exciting time for our community as we welcome thousands of fair-goers to our historic town,” said Trish Egan, the Harvest Fair Committee Chair.
This year there will be nearly 200 vendors registered, including 60 new participants, featuring crafts, jewelry, collectibles and much more. Many of our fan-favorite food vendors are returning, in addition to an all new food truck section, which will be located along South Main Street.
The children’s area will have some additional fun activities added to it, and there will be two stages of live music this year featuring new artists and popular local singers.
The Hightstown Rams are back will the popular dunk tank, so make sure to stop by and dunk your favorite football player. The Rams are suiting up to raise funds for the Rise Food Pantry which provides provisions for more than 325 local families each month. Bring your canned goods or your cash. Throws are one per can, or one for a dollar. The Dunk Tank will be located in the Wells Fargo Bank parking lot, along Peddie Lake, and the Hightstown Fire Department is donating the water supply necessary to soak the participants.
Those who stop by to Dunk-a-Ram can also enter to win one of three $500 gift cards for Ashley HomeStore of Central New Jersey & Staten Island.
All of the funds raised at the event will go to the Rise Food Pantry. As always, the day will end with the Ducky Derby race with prizes awarded to first, second and third place winners.
The event is sponsored by 1st Constitution Bank, CCL, First Baptist Church of Hightstown and Tavern on the Lake.
