Event description:  This event is a celebration of the harvest and beginning of the foliage season in New England.  50 arts & crafts vendors fill the village common.  Music accompanies the event from the gazebo.  Free horse-drawn wagon rides are provided, and there is a chainsaw carving demonstration ongoing all day.  The Chowdah Cook-off features local restaurants competing for the title of Best Chowdah and is enormously popular, attracting hundreds of hungry tasters.  Several Bethel area non-profits also have events that day in locations around the region.  Expected attendance 2,500.
