Poole Harvest Daze, held annually on the weekend after Labour Day, marks the kickoff of Webster County’s fall festival season. This years event will be held on Friday, September fifth and Saturday, September sixth.

In the 26 years since its creation, the festival committee has continued to refine and expand the festival, but the heart of the founder’s original mission is still beating as strong today as ever.
