First of all we need carved
pumpkins for our display along the bike path walkway in Ninigret Park. These
pumpkins can be dropped along with a notecard with your name on it on October
23rd from 5:00-8:30pm at the garage located next to the Kimball Pavilion in
Ninigret Park.
We also will need volunteers
for this event. The volunteers will assist in collecting the pumpkins the night
before the event, also in putting lights in the pumpkins and also guiding
visitors the night of the event. Please contact us at 364-1222 if you are
interested in volunteering.
We
hope this to become an annual event for years to come. Be sure to become a part
of this first spectacular event.
We are also holding our
First Annual Trunk or Treat on Wednesday, October 29 from 6-9:30pm
