The SAGE Center is preparing for the sixth annual Morrow County Harvest Festival.

With a focus on original, handmade and homegrown products, items will highlight the fruits and labor of residents from throughout the area. Those shopping vendor booths will find regionally produced agricultural goods and artisan crafts. Direct sales and home business products are not featured during the event.

The Harvest Festival is Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the SAGE Center, 101 Olson Road, Boardman. There is no admission charge.

The event features more than three dozen vendor booths (both indoors and outdoors), mule-drawn wagon rides, a photo booth, the Kid’s Corner, which includes face painting, pumpkin painting, an inflatable bouncy house, FFA farm animals petting zoo and more. The festival also includes a beer garden, food vendors and live music with Dallin Puzey.
