Who says pumpkins have to be orange? Those creations were made by kids attending the Fauntleroy Community Association-presented Fauntleroy Fall Festival this afternoon – which enjoyed a terrific turnout by all accounts, with lots of other activities spread across three venues, Fauntleroy Church and YMCA (both WSB sponsors) and the schoolhouse; volunteers helped get people safely back and forth across the street:

Behind the schoolhouse – pony rides:

More scenes from the Fauntleroy Fall Festival, including a video clip from the Seattle Civic Concert Dancers‘ mini-performance of their fall ballet “Magical Doll Maker,” just ahead:

Seattle Civic Concert Dancers will present other miniperformances of “Magical Doll Maker” before the official performance December 21st at Highline Performing Arts Center; more info here. Meantime, for those who weren’t dancing at the festival this afternoon, there was an indoor chance to be .. bouncing:

Or, with the help of schoolhouse-based Tuxedos and Tennis Shoes Catering, eating:

And then back across the street in the YMCA/Fauntleroy Church parking lot, climbing:
