The large crowd of families attending the Great Pumpkin Festival in downtown Fayetteville on Oct. 27 filled the grounds of the old courthouse and Fayetteville First United Methodist Church. Among the endless activities were inflatables for the kids, a costume contest, displays of pumpkins created by local school students, a Trick or Treat Village, plenty of vendors — and bubbles to catch in midair.
