Despite the rain, hundreds of people gathered at the Crown Pavilion in New Bremen on Saturday for the annual Pumpkinfest. The festive fall event attracted many with its tasty food and drink options such as mini donuts and craft beers, great music by groups such as The Erastus Family Band and Isaac Buschur, and crafty activities such as pumpkin decorating contests and knitting stations.
