The 14th annual Harvest Festival returned to Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center in Laconia on Saturday. Activities included horse- and tractor-drawn wagon rides, animals, outdoor family yoga, ukulele singalongs, field games, a hay jump, natural crafts, nature-based stories and activities, live music and a Colonial trades fair. Food was available from Beans & Greens Farm and The Gravy Train. The festival hosted 750 people throughout the day, which was almost double the expected number for this year.
