Tangent Harvest Festival
Greetings Neighbors,
The Tangent Harvest Festival this year was reduced to a “Fireman’s Breakfast” and a car show. I went there to enjoy the feast and see some of the cars. Below are some pictures from the two events. Enjoy!
The food line was bountiful, the service excellent, and the volunteer firefighters and staff were full of smiles
Dale and Ella McDowell, long time residents and the former Fire Chief of Tangent finish up their breakfast. They were some of the early risers.
Melissa Lassiter, Ethan Leavenworth and Jennifer Leavenworth just sit down to pancakes, ham, and eggs.
Commissioner Del Shirley, Councilor Curt Smith, and Commissioner Shirley's wife Ruth share a conversation while finishing their coffee.
Residents Brian and Sandy Becker and their daughter Makenna are all smiles after finishing their feast!
Below, some of the cars that arrived early parked near "La Roca", a new mexican restaurant that occupies the old Tangent Store of the 70's and early 80's. After Breakfast, the owners moved them to the Old Bass Estate where they were displayed until 4PM.

Enjoyed the breakfast very much but also that people get together. We need more of this
How many remember the old Harvest Festival's? Chinken Bar B Q - rosting ears- Pie. Games for young and old. Exebits of veg. flowers cakes can goods funny vegs, Booths of crafts and what ever, FUN and the cash always went to a community project.
I remember back in 1978, our first year here. Our daughter Rachel, rode her toy tractor in the parade, and I won my first blue ribbon ever for canned pears and flowers! It was wonderful. I'd love to see it all again too.
All it takes to have a good Harvest Festival is to have someone step up and be willing to volunteer a lot of time. Lots of people say it was fun, great, but where are those who are willing to put it together? Becky put many years in, so did Steve and so did Chris. Who is willing to step up and do all the hard work?
