Locals Turn Out For October Fresh Harvest Fest - PHOTOS

Dog Costumes, Pumpkin Contest, Music, Food and Drink were on the menu for the O'side Kitchen Collaborative Benefit on Saturday

Oceanside, CA - A warm October day at Goat Hill Park was more than enough encouragement to bring families, dog enthusiasts and even a few pumpkin carvers out for an afternoon of music, food and fun last Saturday.

Guests enjoyed music by Shane Hall, Billy Galewood, Untitled & Hllndr. There was also a variety of delicious fall inspired food and beverages, fall carnival games and fall themed crafts. The highlight of the day was the Pumpkin Carving and Dog Costume contests. Raffles were also held for Gift Baskets from local vendors including "Local Oceanside, Creative and the Gardenista".

Feeding the Soul Foundation, a non-profit organization that highlights the talent of local musicians to promote local foundations and businesses, hosted October Fresh. The event was to benefit O'side Kitchen Collaborative, a non-profit collaboration program dedicated to supporting zero waste food efforts in Oceanside.
