Moved to Celebrate: Riverfest 2024

On Saturday, October 5, 2024, our community came together to enjoy the Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce’s 3rd Annual Riverfest celebration. Friends and families gathered at the Winamac Town Park on this beautiful fall day to enjoy local vendors, food, music, crafts, and more! Pulaski County Tribe (PCT) was happy to join the fun by hosting a Bike Parade and Celebration Walk during the festivities.



PCT organized a Celebration Walk in memory of Sharon Breyfogle, to celebrate her incredible legacy of kindness and community spirit. Sharon loved walking through the Winamac Town Park, sharing smiles and sparking conversations with those she met. Before the Breyfogle family led community members on a leisurely stroll along the park’s scenic walking path, Pastor Heath Hiatt blessed the walk with a prayer. Participants shared stories and memories of Sharon’s warmth and her volunteering spirit.





PCT’s Bike Parade encouraged community camaraderie, creativity, and celebrated physical health in the great outdoors! Participants of all ages were invited to deck out their bikes (and themselves) in full fall flair. We loved seeing the creativity of bike decorations as they rolled into the park. PCT members also enjoyed helping kids decorate their bikes on site to join in on the fun! We are grateful for the supply donations for the creation station.



Our festive cyclists, led by Grand Marshals Don and Lynn Darda, enjoyed two laps around the scenic horseshoe in the back of the park. “As participants, it was a blast to see so many folks enjoying the parade,” says Lynn. Cyclists of all ages came together with their creativity and community spirit on full display. This festive parade warmed the hearts of both the participants, and those that gathered to cheer them on along the way


Community collaboration was on full display at Riverfest, hosted by the Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce. PCT is grateful to have been part of this event, where local businesses, organizations, and residents joined forces to create a truly memorable experience. We hope everyone who attended enjoyed the festivities as much as we did! We look forward to supporting and participating in future Riverfest celebrations as we continue embracing the power of community collaboration.
