🍂 Thank you, Fluvanna! 🍂

What a perfect day at Pleasant Grove for this year’s Fall Festival. We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to celebrate our amazing community. 💛💙

Thank you to all the volunteers, first responders, food trucks, vendors, farmers, exhibitors, and performers who made the day shine. Brushwood’s School of Dance, Studio Chassé, Joshua Luongo, Wrong Way Johnny, and Lisa Flynn, with her beautiful singing of the National Anthem🇺🇸. You all brought the energy, and The Sound Guy tied it all together. 🎶

We’re thankful for Fluvanna Parks and Recreation and our local sponsors — Tenaska, Wahoo BBQ, Sheridan and Norman Funeral Home, Fluvanna Leadership Alumni Group, Silk City Printing, and Gia’s Italian Restaurant — for keeping everyone fed, happy, and full of community spirit. 🍔🎉

Thanks to Wade Parrish for the beautiful decorations and Crossing Brook Farm for the perfect pumpkins. 🎃

And a special thank you to the Rotary Club and the Ruritans for your heart, dedication, and those infamous Barrel Train rides. 🚜 You are the spirit of this festival.

Congratulations to our first-ever Punkin Chunkin champions, The Squash Squad — Charlie, Aaron, and Jeffrey Kildea! 🏆 Start planning your trebuchets and catapults now… will we break 200 feet next year?! 🎯
(See the launches in the comments below!)

An estimated 2,500 people came out to celebrate everything Fluvanna has to offer, with proceeds going right back into the county we love.

Fluvanna showed up, celebrated big, and reminded us what community is all about. We can’t wait to do it again next year!!!

Exhausted but bursting with pride,
Your Festival Team

Happy Fall Festival Day! Vendors are filling in and we are setting up. See you at 11 AM!

Twas the night before the festival, and all through Fluvanna,
The fields lay in quiet - not a truck, not a banner.
The pumpkins were stacked and the mums trimmed with care,
In hopes that the crowds soon would be there.

The vendors were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of kettle corn danced in their heads.
Hot dogs were ready, the lattes were too,
And tents full of treasures awaited your view.

From hay bales to barrel trains, sack races to pie,
Excitement was building beneath the fall sky.
The 4-H kids were prepped, the coffee pots brewed,
And Punkin Chunkin Launchers were ready for view.

The stage stood awaiting the music and song,
As first responders prepped to cheer all day long.
So rest up, dear Flucos for soon will be here -
The Fall Festival magic we wait for all year!

SEE YOU TOMORROW! 11 AM - 4 PM, Pleasant Grove Park. Free admission with nonperishable food item.
