Harvest Festival and SPEC's 40th Birthday Party

The festival was a great success with the whole community involved in the celebration.

The sun came out to shine on the event for a while and the canopies were a great help in protecting the delicious assortment of food and our musicians when it did rain. A big thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who helped with the event, as well as speakers and organizations and businesses who made donations. And of course a big thank you to all who attended. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces celebrating SPEC's 40 years.
