Bright lights

The 27th Annual Romulus Pumpkin Festival last weekend drew huge crowds of residents to Historical Park for the three-day event which featured live entertainment all weekend; the Romulus Fire Department famous pancake breakfast; crafts; games; a Classic Car Show and the famous Pumpkin Chuckin’ contest. The Romulus Rotary Parade of Lights which traditionally marks the beginning of the festival drew major crowds and multiple parade entries again this year. From firetrucks to car haulers, buses to earth moving equipment, and most vehicles in between, the parade lit up Goddard Road to cheers from the crowds as the entries passed by. Romulus Mayor Robert McCraight was among the multiple entrants that drew cheers from the onlookers. The parade, sponsored by the Romulus Rotary Club, accepted online voting for the best entries in several categories this week. The winners this year were not available at press time.
