Wow! The level of creativity shown in the carved pumpkins just keeps getting better each year.

We’ve some very creative folks in the community who would seem to have discovered their creative outlet through pumpkin carving. The volunteer pumpkin carvers really got into it. I don’t think the video really does justice to how cool many of them were. Guess you just had to be there.  :)

The creativity seems to have been appreciated as there were hardly any pumpkins left by the end of the evening. A near sell out!

We were fortunate to have great weather and enjoyed a great turn out. Lots of neighbors and friends showed and it was a great chance to hang out and catch up with folks.

The neighbors on Church Street initiated this great event and again outdid themselves. It would not have happened though without the generous help of close friends, relatives and those too slow to duck. I’m reluctant to name names though as I know I’ll forget someone. It’s a great neighborhood though of close and caring neighbors and friends willing to share their time and effort. We raised some money for the park but it’s also just a fun group of folks to hang out with. Thanks to everyone to volunteered.

Also, thank you to our generous sponsors.

Bushel & Peck’s – It’s a great place that keeps getting better and better. Stop by some time for us.

Harris Ace Hardware – Couldn’t be more convenient and the folks there really go out of their way to help you.

Doodles – They’ve got great creativity based programs for the kids. A wonderful opportunity for our community’s kids.
