Faces of the Harvest Festival
Community Spotlight: Beta Sigma Phi Cake Walk
Some Harvest Festival traditions bring out the competitor in us. Others simply bring out our sweet tooth.
One of the most popular annual attractions at the William Walton Harvest Festival is the Beta Sigma Phi Cake Walk. Generations of festival-goers have enjoyed the excitement of circling the cake walk squares, hoping to hear their number called and take home a delicious homemade cake.
The cake walk is more than just a game. It is a tradition that has become part of the Harvest Festival experience and a great example of local organizations coming together to support our community.
Whether you're hoping to win a chocolate cake, a coconut cake, or a favorite family recipe, be sure to stop by the Beta Sigma Phi Cake Walk during this year's festival. You might just leave with dessert in hand!
Thank you to Beta Sigma Phi for helping make the William Walton Harvest Festival a community tradition year after year. [iheart.com], [smithcount...nsider.com]
