Metcalfe County Pumpkin Festival

EDMONTON Ky. – Metcalfe County is gearing up to hold their annual pumpkin festival this Saturday. The hope is that the festival will be fully attended this year as all pandemic related holds have been lifted.

The event is often used as a reason to come home for many residents of Metcalfe County and is seen as a thing of pride within the community.

“We have a car show. A lot of antique cars or hotrod cars. Any kind of cars, they those are in. That’s always been a big thing. We do a 5k run at the Pumpkin festival and then there’s always a kids costume contest.” Martha Bragg, Treasurer of the Metcalfe County Chamber of Commerce said.

The festival begins October 7th.
