Barnesville, OH (WTRF)- The Barnesville Pumpkin Festival committee has voted unanimously to cancel the four day Barnesville Pumpkin Festival event.

The committee says this was the best decision to make based on the safety for everyone.
However, the annual King Pumpkin Weigh tradition will continue.
Details of the event will be given in the weeks ahead.
