The 2nd Whitelock Harvest Fest Was a Great ... - Schools & Recreation

The morning of October 7th started with grey skies, cold, and the threat of rain, and pretty much stayed that way, but, hey, it?s autumn.? Whitelock Street was alive and vibrant anyway.? Four hundred people came out for the 2^nd Whitelock Harvest Fest and had an incredible day sampling food, talking with neighbors, listening to great music, and enjoying the activities for our children.? Held on the site of Reservoir Hill?s former commercial hub, the Fest is a celebration of family, community, healthy food, recreation, creative city living, and the power of working together to return life to the heart of Reservoir Hill.
