A family favorite tradition that’s been happening now for a quarter of a century is coming up this Saturday in Jensen. The theme for the 25th annual Great Jensen Pumpkin Festival is “Blast from the Past” and it will be all about Faith, Family, Friends, and Freedom. In 1996, Split Mountain Garden Center brought together friends and family to have a bonfire and share some apple cider. In that year, there were around 250 people who attended. The get together has grown into a popular event with over 2,000 people who come each year and take part. There will be the epic pumpkin displays, of course, food to eat, live music, a bonfire, and activities. While the event is free there is a $3 parking fee with all proceeds being donated to local charities. Come by this Saturday to the Jensen Park from 6pm to 9pm.
