The Annual Pumpkinfest - You’re Invited

The public is invited to attend the annual Pumpkinfest at the Salem Community Building in Lamartine, PA, from 12 pm - 4 pm on October 18, 2025. This free family event is sponsored by St. Paul’s-Salem Lutheran Parish and Thrivent Financial.

This marks the 16th year of the event and features some traditional activities along with new additions. There will be various activities during the entire event, including hay rides, bouncy house, crafts and games, a petting zoo, and auction baskets. And . . . kids can enter a drawing to win a bicycle.

There will be concessions and great food to enjoy as well. We are happy to welcome back Marty’s Bubble-gum Machine (performances at 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm), InKrEdible IKE Balloon Artist (1-2 pm), and local musician Sawyer Stepp (1-4 pm). New to the event this year is a visit from Lager the Therapy Dog (from 12-2 pm), and the Clarion County Dairy Princesses will have activities and free ice cream.

Children can decorate and take home a pumpkin provided by Baytree Farms (while supplies last) and be entered into a drawing to win a new bicycle.

St. Paul’s-Salem Lutheran Parish is part of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America). The pastor of the parish is Rev. Doug Dyson
