Celebrating the Harvest.
Harvest festivals are the essence of traditional rural life. For residents of the small rural community of Collector, the annual Pumpkin Festival celebrates the arrival of another harvest season. And nothing could be more traditional than bringing in the pumpkins after the first autumn frosts and making a bowl of wonderful pumpkin soup or a tray of hot pumpkin scones!!
