PORTER, Okla. — The Porter Peach Festival ended Saturday as people visited the town to sample all kinds of peach-flavored things.

People from across the state brought in the peaches and fair food.

People like Will Moyano. Moyano said a peachy time was worth the drive.

"It's nice seeing small towns coming from Oklahoma City because you can see how unified a community is."

It's not just peach cobbler and funnel cakes. There's plenty of vendors and rides but Moyano said the Porter peaches were the priority.

"Getting some peaches, you know, some peach ice cream 'cause you can't come here and not have some of that."

2 News talked to Kyle Livesay, with the Livesay Orchards who contributes to the peach festival and told 2 News about the importance of a good crop, "It's really important. I don't think anyone comes to the peach festival wondering where the peaches are."
