00:00If you can find me, some Portuguese grandma malasadas fresh out of the bowl.

00:07So when's the last time you were at the Harvest Festival?

00:11Last year.

00:11Zachary, how about you?

00:12I've never been to it here.

00:14Well, I mean, this is the third iteration of Westport's Harvest Festival.

00:16The first was at the high school, right?

00:1894.

00:19And then it moved to?

00:20Town Farm, and then here.

00:22Hi, EJ.

00:23Hi.

00:23We're back at the South Coast Harvest Festival.

00:25We went last year, I think it was the first year that they kind of reconstituted

00:29the Harvest Festival in our town.

00:30That's right.

00:30And it was fun. We had a good time.

00:32Yeah.

00:32I think we were slightly critical of like maybe one rice pudding here.

00:35Yeah.

00:36I love rice pudding.

00:37I couldn't resist.

00:39It's not like super expensive.

00:40It's all right.

00:40And like the cost at the time.

00:4220 bucks.

00:43I would rate it more highly if it was a $5 entry fee.

00:46How much was it?

00:47Like $20.

00:48A head, yeah.

00:49They found our YouTube video about seven months later.

00:51Okay.

00:51And they were like, come on.

00:53We're just trying to put on a nice Harvest Festival here.

00:55So they were nice enough.

00:57They gave us some cop tickets.

00:58That was very nice of them.

00:59And they want to meet with us here and tell us about the Harvest Festival.

01:02And we brought all our friends.

01:04Yes, we did.

01:04And I will say it is much more populous this year.

01:07It's an order of magnitude more people.

01:09We went to the Apple Peach in a Kushnet a couple of weeks ago.

01:12Yeah.

01:12The live music was nice, but it was blowing me out.

01:14That was a problem last year here too, if I could be critical of the past at least.

01:19I like that the audio quality is just kind of okay.

01:22Yeah, yeah.

01:22It shouldn't be too good.

01:23It shouldn't be too good.

01:24There's a flat tire.

01:25I said that's a serious problem.

01:26I'm worried that that's too critical.

01:29I'm sure it could have air put in it.

01:32I'm sure.

01:33Now, what variety are you having today?

01:34There was like a honey crisp variety I never heard of.

01:37I wanted more of a tailored experience.

01:38So I told him what I wanted.

01:40A sweet, not too tart, thin skin.

01:41That's what he recommended.

01:42If you were to plant a big crop, what would you grow?

01:45What would you do?

01:46Pumpkin.

01:46A big field of pumpkins, huh?

01:48Then I can like cut a pumpkin to look like a Cinderella.

01:51I kind of wish the eyes were a different color.

01:53The neck is also concerning to me.

01:56We're looking for designs by Shannon.

01:58Are you the Shannon I've been texting?

01:59Yes, I'm the Shannon.

02:00You found me!

02:02How do you guys feel about everything?

02:03Are you happy with the experience so far?

02:05I was happy with it last year.

02:06There was like one rice pudding that I didn't love.

02:08It's super thick and it's not very flavorful.

02:11But enjoy, Nina.

02:12We have malasadas now.

02:13Oh!

02:14If you can find me some Portuguese grandma malasadas fresh out of the bowl.

02:19I'm finding them for you today, fresh out of the bowl.

02:22Actually, I love this.

02:24My only concern is I'm a bit of an environmentalist.

02:26And this is a lot of plastic.

02:29Why are you shaking your head?

02:30When I look at this, I think it's beautiful.

02:32I see a lot of like rubber balloons in turtles' mouths and stuff.

02:36Yeah, we're trying to make a positive video here.

02:38I think it's beautiful.

02:39I bet this kills turtles.

02:41At my house, I have a couple pumpkins on the stairs.

02:43But they've taken the idea to an extreme.

02:45And I, for one, love it.

02:46It's the former post office.

02:48I love this.

02:48Going up the stairs, all the variety of pumpkins.

02:50Yeah, yeah.

02:51So many gorgeous.

02:53Photo bump.

02:54Yeah.

02:54We'll be here all day.

02:55I love the carved stone.

02:57Oh, I like the live pumpkin carving.

02:58Did you decide to have a sit in a garden?

03:00I did.

03:00Did you gravitate towards stone walls?

03:02I did.

03:03I think it's a little bit more Halloween pumpkin focus.

03:06It is.

03:06And I'm here for that.

03:08Last year, there was like a strange like crucifixion effigy.

03:11Why does it look like you're killing a child on a block?

03:14It's a scare pro.

03:16Isn't it scary?

03:16I see that that has been eliminated this year.

03:18Yeah.

03:19Probably for the best.

03:19Instead, we have the Smokey the Bear wicker man.

03:22Yes.

03:22Not the bees.

03:23Oh, no, not the bees.

03:27Not the bees.

03:28I don't have my eyes.

03:31I feel like I never saw gigantic decorative skeletons until maybe like five years ago.

03:37Yeah, and now they're everywhere.

03:38I do like them as an alternative to inflatables.

03:41Why does the man have no pants?

03:43For good reason.

03:43For God's sake, put on some pants.

03:45If you're not from New England, whether it's summer or fall or spring,

03:49really any time besides winter, if you go to any kind of seasonal event,

03:52a clam shack is going to be hearty.

03:54Yes.

03:54Get some summer clam cakes.

03:56Yeah.

03:56Get some fall clam cakes.

03:57Get some spring flam...

03:58Flam cakes.

03:59Get some winter flam flakes.

04:00Did you say flam cake?

04:02I'll try any for once.

04:03Now, they've got sorbet here.

04:04I'll tell you what you do with sorbet.

04:06You put some Sprite in it and you put it in a blender.

04:10And then you drink it.

04:11So you don't think that sorbet has enough flavor?

04:13I'm not going to argue with you about this.

04:14Have you never had like a mango sorbet?

04:16We're not having a debate.

04:17What are you trying, kiddo?

04:19A pumpkin scare.

04:23Oh, the pumpkin long john is really good.

04:25But it turns out the apple cranberry one is even better.

04:30Is there anything, Frankie, of all the options you see here that's

04:32drawing you in?

04:33Like something that, you know, you don't think you could live without?

04:35Getting some whole belly clams.

04:37Yeah.

04:38With some tartar sauce.

04:39Apart from that, I'm just kind of enjoying...

04:41Yeah, me too.

04:42Not...

04:42You know, the problem with...

04:43You go to an event where there's walking and there's petting and what you've done is...

04:47Hands are gross.

04:48Yeah.

04:48This is Perry's Bakery.

04:50Famous bakery from our town.

04:51Yes, delicious.

04:52You know, the inflatable pumpkin alone.

04:54It's pretty awesome.

04:58How much sugar do you like on your malasadas?

05:00As much as you want.

05:01I like the jewelry.

05:03It's nice.

05:04Looks good.

05:04I want you to do an assessment.

05:06Yeah, that's good.

05:07It's maybe five minutes out of the fryer, five to ten minutes.

05:09Oh, yeah.

05:10It's fresh as hell.

05:10Oh, it's very fresh, yeah.

05:12Oh, it's very good.

05:13This is like an eight.

05:14So what distinguishes it?

05:15Just the flavor of the dough.

05:17Oh my god.

05:18That's very good, though.

05:19I want to make that clear.

05:20It's excellent.

05:20I have a question.

05:21What's the difference between this and just like a doughboy?

05:25The hydration.

05:25So there's more water in this base, so it makes it more soft,

05:28whereas a doughboy cooks up kind of more firm.

05:30Is he answering me for real right now?

05:32I am.

05:33You'd have to watch the channel.

05:34Now, what's the difference between this and like a doughboy?

05:38It's the hydration.

05:39There's more water in it, so it creates a thicker, more dense dough.

05:42I'm glad I'm consistent, if nothing else.

05:44I've been trying to make my way to you, but it's been so busy.

05:46We just did the malasadas.

05:48Yeah.

05:48And?

05:49Nine out of ten.

05:49Yeah, nine out of ten.

05:50They were delicious.

05:51So are you folks from Westport?

05:52I'm from Westport.

05:53We're all from Westport.

05:54We are as well.

05:55I graduated in 13.

05:5613.

05:57I was 04, and you were?

05:5898.

06:00Okay, so we missed each other.

06:01Are you too young to remember the old high school harvest festival?

06:04I do remember.

06:06Very vague.

06:06So Michelle and Brian Pei are the event creators, and they are gardeners.

06:10They used to do the Rhode Island Flower and Garden Show.

06:13It's been some time since the harvest festival, and they thought,

06:16why don't we bring it back?

06:18There was always a whole controversy in Westport about bringing the harvest festival back.

06:21Everybody wanted it, and nobody was moving on it.

06:23Exactly.

06:24So they took it upon themselves to make it happen.

06:26We're bringing a new flair to it.

06:28We have the professional gardeners, which is something that they didn't have back in the day.

06:31Yeah, I totally love that.

06:32It really kind of separates us from any other fall festival, because you can't find that around here.

06:37It's our second year, and we've only grown.

06:38And I don't know another space in Westport where you could possibly fit that many cars.

06:43And the giant 26-foot pumpkin.

06:45Yeah, that's incredible.

06:46Let me tell you.

06:48It's always been my dream to own that pumpkin.

06:50Really?

06:51That was an investment.

06:52Are you a Halloween lover in addition to being an autumn lover?

06:55Yes.

06:56I love all the pumpkins around this year.

06:57A lot more pumpkins, just kind of as decorative elements.

06:59They were coming in troves, like crates.

07:01We had a lot of local pumpkin patches that have allowed us to borrow them.

07:06Some of them were purchased.

07:07A lot of them were donated.

07:09If you want seafood, we got flout.

07:10You can get yourself some clam cakes, which is cool.

07:12You don't really get stuff like that at a harvest festival.

07:14We've been praying.

07:15We've been blessed with a beautiful three days.

07:16We could not be happier.

07:18We actually were able to slice the ticket prices in half from last year.

07:21We know that there was a little bit of resistance with the ticket prices last year.

07:24And we understand.

07:24It's tough.

07:25But it's a lot getting an event like this off the ground.

07:28And I don't think people really realize that it's privately funded.

07:30The only reason that we were able to make it happen is because we had some gracious

07:34people who sponsored us to get us off the ground.

07:36We did have some investors.

07:38But this year, we're all on our own.

07:40We took the chance in cutting the ticket prices in half and hoping that it would bring more

07:44people in and make it more accessible to families, which is what we want.

07:46It's a family event.

07:47All right.

07:47We're going to try to find that mechanical bull.

07:49Thanks.

07:49All right.

07:50Thanks so much.

08:06You're on the red cow.

08:14Good job!
