'This is beautiful,” GiUiard said, pointing to the infield full of vendors and game tents. While the temperature had cooled from the pre vious weeks, the sim was warm enough to keep lem onade top of mind when a lemonade stand came into sight. “I just finished setting up and I am already busy,” said Lora Hinton. “It’s going to be a great day.” While Hinton’s Lemon ade was a hit, the smoked turkey leg tent, complete with triple blenders to han dle the frozen drink needs of the crowd and smioked turkey legs, large enough to hit a baseball across the church parking lot, high lighted the afternoon. Victoria Moody, Kenya Ingram, Pasaonce Ingram, Morgan Moody and Bray- Ion Council positioned themselves at the frozen drink coimter just before opening, eiyoying the best seats in the tented house. The Harvest Festival has been sponsored by the Greater Wynns Grove Community Development Center for more than two decades. “We have been holding this festival for 24 years and every year it gets big ger,” said event coordinator Brenda Cale-Chamblee. “We haven’t been able to hold it for the past two years because of COVID and we were concerned about the turnout, but we had a great fair. I would say between 350 — 400 people showed up,” Cale-Cham- blee added. The committee was proud of the event. “Our committee of about four people organize the event every year. 'This year we gave away fried chick en, hot dogs and french fries,” Cale-Chamblee said. “If you were hungry and wanted to eat, the food was free. “We fed anyone who wanted to eat.
