In addition to the Pumpkin People, the Kentville Centre Square hosts a family-friendly Harvest Festival on Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and a weekly Farmers’ Market every Wednesday morning. Local artist Gerry Little has been building the props, sourcing the materials , painting the pumpkin heads and creating the display scenes for more than 20 years.
Maintaining the originality and creativity of the Pumpkin People, as well as being mindful about keeping waste creation to a minimum, are important parts of the Pumpkin People planning.
