The annual Petawawa Ramble is officially in the books for another year. As part of the festivities Pumpkin Folks displays were created in front of businesses or in community locations so that area residents could take a self-guided tour through town. Visitors were able to electronically vote for their favorite Pumpkin Folks displays in various categories during the weekend festivities. One of the organizers, Val Hyska says she have heard that businesses use this event to foster team building activities.
