Modesto Harvest Fest heralds changing season

Autumn arrived at Tenth Street Plaza on Saturday as the annual Harvest Festival returned to downtown Modesto. The daylong event not only highlighted the fresh fall season, but a decided change in the weather as well, coming on the heels of light rainfall Friday evening with the threat of more showers to come Saturday night. Nevertheless, festivalgoers enjoyed dry skies and plenty to peruse at the event, which offered options for both young and old with a pumpkin patch, art show, crafts, a classic-car show and more.
