Every fall the Strathcona community puts on the Harvest Festival which includes a pie tasting contest, live music, crafts, and other things to do with the fall harvest. We arrived late so we missed the pie but we got there just in time for a community hay fight. It was awesome. Who ever thought to dump a giant pile of hay in the middle of the park was a genius. It never got old throwing hay in people's faces. It was such a great feeling to be part of a tight knit community. Even the little girls got themselves together and organized their own potato sack race.
Near the end of the fest, I was chatting with a friend when suddenly we heard a roaring noise and saw black smoke billowing into the sky. An old wooden heritage house caught fire at the end of the park and everyone started running towards it. I think it's so crazy that people throw themselves right in front of danger to get a good look. It didn't take long for the fire department to put the fire out and no one seem to be hurt. All the commotion kind of killed the party but made it extra memorable.
