Fall is in the air, at Wesley Chapel festival

By

Whether they were collecting goodies through Trunk-or-Treating, enjoying carnival rides, picking out the perfect pumpkin or competing in a costume contest, there were plenty of chances for fun at the 14th annual Wesley Chapel Fall Festival, on Oct. 27 and Oct. 28 at The Grove at Wesley Chapel, 6105 Wesley Grove Blvd. The event also featured local vendors, food trucks, a pet parade and a petting zoo. And, the weather cooperated, too.

Dressed as a little monkey for Halloween, two-year-old Logan Allgood, of Dade City, excitedly looks at his mother as he picks out his perfect pumpkin at the Scrub-A-Dub Bin Cleaning pumpkin patch. A portion of the pumpkin patch proceeds will benefit the Stano Foundation, a nonprofit that provides support and personalized care packages for members of the military services. (Christine Holtzman)
With the aid of her father Rich, 1-year-old Madigan Munkwitz, of Wesley Chapel, pets a gray donkey named ‘Minnie Mouse’ at the A. Thomas Pony Rides and Petting Zoo tent. Madigan’s mother, Rachael, says the family loves fall festivals and supporting kid-friendly events, especially when they’re within the local community.
Described as having ‘no fear’ by her parents, 12-year-old Alyssa Fagan, of Wesley Chapel, ‘free falls’ from the 20-foot platform of the ‘Stunt Jump’ attraction to the giant air cushion below. Eleven-year-olds Mariela Lastres, of Dade City, on platform left, and her friend, Jayleigh Hutchins, of Dade City, center, watch as they work up the courage to take the next jump. The worker for Frank’s Jump-N-Fun, Doug Berdan, is on right.
