The absurd antics of an Indiana town's public officials as they pursue sundry projects to make their city a better place.

Dedicated government employee Leslie Knope and her fellow colleagues ramp up for their most important civic project yet: the Harvest Festival. As Leslie Knope plans, prepares and publicizes, her colleagues take on other challenges such as a crippling flu, the statewide softball tournament, and the sad demise of a local icon, a miniature horse named Li'l Sebastian.

Leslie Knope takes on new challenges as the newly-elected city councilwoman of Pawnee, Indiana. She stands her ground for what she believes in and puts up a strong fight, all while balancing her personal relationship with Ben and planning for a wedding. Meanwhile, assistant Andy pursues a career in law enforcement, Ann makes a dramatic life decision, and Ron is smitten with a new lady.
