Pumpkin Festival 2020 Is Huge Success

Cordell’s 33rd Annual Pumpkin Festival and Car Show organizers provided a fun Saturday for over 2,000 people, with many festival attendees stating that they felt it was the best festival they have seen in many years. Chamber event co ordinator Sarah Lau put in countless hours of planning and her hard work showed. The event was moved from Lee Park back to the downtown square last year and there were at least 12 local businesses that opened Saturday morning and enjoyed the increased foot traffic in their stores. The car show had about 30 entries and some traveled many miles to show off their vehicles. The Cordell Fire Department had great success with their bounce house fundraiser with over 200 children par ticipating. The corn hole tournament was a popular new addition to the festival this year and many teams came forward to show their skills.
