It’s
Tumbleweed Festival time again in Haigler! The 7th annual Haigler Fall Tumbleweed
Festival will be Saturday, October 11 on the Haigler Museum grounds south of
Golden Rod Highway 34 and Porter Avenue. You are invited! The
tents, tables, cornstalks, pumpkins, scarecrows, food, and live music are all
out awaiting your arrival. Weather forecasters predict a beautiful fall
day Saturday after rain showers on Thursday and Friday. Event planners
encourage you to bring your lawn chair for the afternoon activities.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a decorated tumbleweed to be displayed.
Cash prizes will be given. The art show of the last 2 years has been
moved to spring when Haigler will host a Wine and Arts Festival. There
are no admission fees for the Tumbleweed Festival—just free will donations to
the Community Foundation to help support the Haigler Museums.
