Rick's work (Hopewell Culture NHS) decided to have a jack'o latern walk at their park. The state prison grew and donated the pumpkins for the walk, but Rick was short on carvers. So............ we invited some friends (many of whom work with me at OEPA) to come over Friday and carve! We held the party in our old renovated barn since the weather was rainy. It turned out to be lots of fun. Kids got to pet the goats, see the horses, feed the pigs, hear the turkeys, and get messy! After it was all said and done, we had carved over 50 pumpkins! Thanks for the the help everyone!
On saturday, Rick loaded all the carved pumpkins and made his way to work to prepare for that evenings festivities. His staff lined the outside of the earthworks with hundreds of jack'o laterns. Our daughter, Raven had a great time helping her Ranger daddy. Though, she was right behind him blowing all the pumpkins out! Three, what a great age...... It was truly beautiful and the community loved it! I hope that the park decides to do this for years to come.
After the event, we loaded the pumpkins all up and braught them back to Sandy Rock Acres to feed the pigs and the goats. The circle of life :)
