Portland Community College’s Rock Creek Campus is hosting the annual Harvest Festival from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25 at the campus, 17705 N.W. Springville Road. This fall harvest celebration will have free pumpkins, face painting, pumpkin painting, petting zoo, hay rides, music, children’s arts and crafts, and Learning Garden tours. The public is invited to this family event that attracts more than 1,000 people from the community every year.
A donation of $5 per family is suggested and free raffle tickets come with donated canned goods. Free parking is available in the Event Center parking lot behind Building 9. The hay rides that loop around the campus will run all day and will be staged between buildings 2 and 5. Tours and pumpkins will be in the Learning Garden and all other activities will take place in Building 3 mall and in the courtyard.
