“We really wanted to do something for the community to celebrate the season,” says Elly DesLauriers, Director of Marketing and Development.  “We put the ask out to our community partners for carved pumpkins and they have responded with over 800 pumpkins. We hope to reach our goal of 1,000 pumpkins for this third annual event.”
