30th Annual Pumpkin Dash
The Pumpkin Dash Cross County Festival is a Sterling tradition, featuring races that vary in distance for crawlers through 12 years of age. The first 1,000 participants will receive a small pumpkin and a small bag of candy at the end of their race. Large pumpkins will be awarded to the winning girl and boy of each heat (excluding the 2 yrs & under race).
