It’s Tumbleweed Festival time again
in Haigler , Nebraska ……
The 5th annual Haigler Fall
Tumbleweed Festival will be held Saturday, October 13, 2012, on the Haigler Museum grounds south of Highway 34 and Porter Avenue .
Tents, tables, hay bales, pumpkins, scarecrows, music, food, and lots of
activities await your arrival. Festival-goers are encouraged to bring their own
lawn chairs and come enjoy this wonderful day of celebration. There are no
admission fees—just free will donations that will help fund the Haigler Cornerstone Museum
projects. The festival committee is hoping for a warm, sunny day—(especially
after the early snows of last weekend)—but the event will be held regardless of
weather (just moved inside the buildings if necessary).
