Harvest Festival/3.0

The Harvest Festival was two free Grapeseed events (NA and AU timezones) organized, hosted, and photographed (with Pixel Perfect polaroids given out for free) by Ell LeFant. Nancy Drew's pet raccoon Scraps constructed a pumpkin patch (because pumpkins couldn't grow in Grapeseed) and hay bales; Giblets of the Clowncil turned Grandma's House into a haunted house; and Ell used rental cars to build a spooky maze (because a corn maze couldn't grow in Grapeseed). Hayes Autos donated two $25,000 cash prizes for the two costume contests. Free Shrugway Sandwiches food was available in both storms. Ell fronted the total $100,000 cost of the Harvest Festival herself, but never got reimbursed by Parks & Rec because of Accounting Manager Isabeau "Izzy" Navarro's indefinite sick leave.

Giblets, Mikael Nordin (a random stranger looking for a job on Twatter), Keith Herman, and Chelsea Lafayette helped build the car maze using rented taco trucks and coach buses. As The Russians threatened to bomb Mayor Mickey S, a decoy Mayor Mickey opened the Harvest Festival with a speech from a small stage, and judged the costume contest. The alien costume won first place and $15,000, "Poison Ivy" won second place and $6000, and "Tom Cruise" won third place and $4000. Sooty Gamwich performed a free concert. Giblets gave tours of the haunted house with free Liquid Library absinthe inside. Cassandra Silverton sold That's Weird merchandise. The NA event concluded with Ell and the clowns blowing up the entire car maze. Afterward, Director Charlie Greene officially hired Ell to Parks and Recreation as a Recreation Coordinator (rather than as a Supervisor because of Ell's violent felony record).

Host Ell LeFant, Giblets, and Stumbles Fumbles (later assisted by Kallista Novac and the Shrugway Sandwiches cook Jordan Foran) rented coach buses and built a brand-new car maze with them. Damien Tinkerman performed on the small stage. The pumpkin-colored astronaut won the costume contest and the $25,000 grand prize money. Giblets ran the haunted house tours. The AU event concluded with Ell, Tom Ryan, and armed attendees blowing up the bus maze.
