A FEST TO REMEMBER. As Greater York Region Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Cathy Goodwin put it, each year she can't imagine Harvestfest getting any better, and every year it does. Following the fun-filled weekend of Oct. 12 through 14, Goodwin publicly thanked the community for its "tremendous outpouring of ambassadorship" during the event, and praised the many individuals and businesses who helped make the 23rd annual event a success. Goodwin also thanked the York Town Hall staff for their support as the event begins on Friday, a workday for Town Hall, and requires the staff to adjust to a parking lot filled with visitors and events beginning right outside their windows. Pictured here, scores of residents and visitors crowd the food tent to sample everything from lobster bisque to pulled pork at Harvestfest.
