❤️ IT TAKES A VILLAGE… AND WE HAVE A PRETTY GREAT ONE! ❤️

The 111th Annual Fruita Fall Festival is officially in the books, and we could not have done it without an AMAZING crew of Helpful Humans! 🙌

From setting up fencing and tents, helping with the parade, pouring drinks, assisting with events, answering questions, cleaning up, and tackling about a million other things behind the scenes, our volunteers showed up BIG for Fruita.

But just how many volunteers signed up to help make Fall Festival happen this year? 👀

👇 DROP YOUR GUESS IN THE COMMENTS! 👇

The first person to guess the correct number will win a Fruita Fall Festival hat + T-shirt! 🎉

One guess per person, please! We’ll reveal the answer and give our incredible volunteers the recognition they deserve soon.

To every single person who gave their time, energy, muscle, patience, and probably a few thousand steps this weekend: THANK YOU. Fall Festival simply doesn't happen without you.

Now… how many Helpful Humans do you think it took? 🤔
