- "We know what a difference it makes to have an adult changing table out in public, thank you! We moved to Belmont County because their DD board is so supportive, and it makes me feel even better in that decision seeing they are the sponsor for this amazing restroom. You made our family day out possible for longer!"

Partnerships are the foundation of success stories like this family's. Working with planning partners and sponsors to show up year after year to become a consistent and trusted resource at community events helps ensure friends of all abilities can join without worry.

Thank you for a truly special Barnesville Pumpkin Festival! We appreciate being part of the energy and provide a resource that allows us all to get together and stick around for as much fun as we can handle 😍

It's the moments that matter. We've spent the last four days celebrating traditions, reconnecting with friends, gathering with family and making new memories.

At the heart of it all, the festival is about all those little moments that bring us together. And we can't thank you enough for sharing them with us. We had one heck of a Sunday.

🎻🪕 A little pickin’, a little grinnin’, and a whole lot of talent!

The Fiddle & Banjo Competition (....and guitar and accordion) brought some serious old-time music to the festival today, with musicians showing off their skills. 🎸🪗

There’s something about live Appalachian-style music at the Pumpkin Festival that just feels right. ❤️ 🎃

Here are a few highlights from the competition!
