This episode is a big episode. Not only is the Harvest Festival finally about to start, something that the season has been building towards since the season opener, but more importantly it introduces Li'l Sebastian. A miniature horse that is treated like the second coming of Jesus Christ. When the Parks Department finds out that Li'l Sebastian will be in attendance at the festival, everyone flips out in excitement and glee. My favorite reactions are from Ron who jumps up and down and giggles, acting like a kid in a candy shop. Everyone seems to LOVE Li'l Sebastian, except Ben who just doesn't understand what all the fuss is about. "I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?"
Everything seems to be going smoothly until word spreads that the site is cursed due to Li'l Sebastian going missing. The entire episode revolves around Leslie trying to keep the festival from becoming a total disaster and the rest of the department searching for the missing tiny horse.
There is so much great stuff to take away from this episode: Ken Hotate messing with white people; Andy not saying "I love you" back to April; Donna giving Ann dating advice; and Ben and Leslie dorkinly (is that a word?) flirting with one another by pretending to shoot lasers from their hands. This episode is a ton of fun and it builds to a great ending which I won't spoil, but is one of my favorite final shots in any Parks episode.
Quick side note: One of the issues I have with Season 3 is that the main arch for the season ends too soon into the season. Surprisingly though, the season does not lose its momentum despite not having a main arch to follow for the rest of the season. There are even more classic Parks episodes still to come in this season, so stay tuned!
