Thousands attend Wellington’s fall festival

A pair of pumpkin-themed scarecrows claim that there’s at least half a brain between them as they pose in front of CML Snider School during Saturday’s Pumpkinfest activities. Thousands of people gathered in Wellington to watch the parade and then take part in the events in the village. This year’s pumpkin weighing yielded an Ontario record for the heaviest pumpkin.
