FRUIT SHED FEST 2026
Loomis Train Depot Plaza
It was an unseasonably hot day for October, but we had fun at the Frut Shed Fest. Our booth embraced the festival's theme with a display of old photos of the packing house operation at the High-Hand shed and fruit crate labels from Loomis, Penryn and Newcastle. Mr. Pumkinhead was in front of the booth to greet everyone.
Missed it? We'll be there again next year on the first Saturday in October.
