Family Day at the Augusta Harvest Festival was held on Saturday, September 18. The beautiful morning started in the town square with a pancake breakfast and a 5k run/walk. There were pedal tractors, drift bikes and other activities for the kids to do; there was the annual Pie Contest, a Pie Walk and the Parade which all took place in town that morning. Winners of the scarecrow contest (entries have been on display throughout town the past few weeks) were announced along with the parade and pie contest winners to wrap up the morning events.

In the afternoon, the Festival moved to the Augusta Ball Field, which was new this year; along with free trolley rides. There was live music (by Boomerang Band and Zak Perry & Homemade Wine), pumpkin launching, a corn hole tournament, bounce houses, pony rides, beer, food and craft vendors all afternoon. The Augusta Harvest Festival, as always, was a great time to spend with family and friends.
