The 30th annual PumpkinFest will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, in downtown Franklin.
The centerpiece event of PumpkinFest is the “World Famous PumpkinRoll.” Who can roll a pumpkin the greatest distance down Phillips Street and vying for bragging rights? One past winner rolled 1,021 feet.
Sign-up for the “Pumpkin Roll” is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., with the actual “roll” from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Pumpkins will be available for purchase at the event, or bring your own.
