Costumes


It is customary for Festival goers to dress in period and western clothing the entire week of Harvest Festival and at the Festival.  More than just the tradition and fun of dressing in the spirit of the Festival, there are two more reasons to dress is costume.

1.  It keeps you out of the Hoosgow!


Anyone caught not wearing Vintage or Western Clothing gets thrown in the Festival Hoosgow by the Sheriff and her trusty Deputy!


2.  You could win the Costume Contest!

  A costume contest sponsored by the South County Historical Society will be held
at the festival on the 2
7th

To enter the Costume Contest visit the Photo Booth
which will be in Olohan Alley near the Hoosgow.  The Costume Contest booth will have registration forms and the official contest photographer, "Rustler Ross" will be waiting to take your photo with the Old West Town or Stagecoach Backdrop.
