61st Barnesville Pumpkin Festival Build Up
Back in the days before the Internet and Smartphones, the Barnesville Enterprise would launch a regular feature each week beginning about the first of August called the Pumpkin Festival Build Up. That was one of the main avenues of communication with the greater Barnesville community and with the legions of former residents who have moved to locations near and far.
Not so today. The Barnesville Pumpkin Festival Facebook Page alone has 16,000 Likes and 19,000 followers in addition to a general festival website that also reaches thousands.
That said, in the past month alone, the festival committee has shared information on the following topics:
- King Pumpkin Festival Weigh-Off Information
- Festival Royalty Entrants Sought
- Parade Entry Form Posted
- Parade Chair Needed
- Sand Art Vendor Sought
- Eyes of Freedom Display Returns
- 2025 Talent Show – A New Feature
- Festival Committee Chairperson Names and Contact Information
- Rock Scavenger Hunt Returns
- Pumpkin Festival 5K Run Entry Form Posted

Yes, there is more coming over the next 55 days. Keep up with posts on Facebook here and on the web here.
