Back by popular demand! Community members are hosting a Jack-o-Lantern Walk and Haunted Forest in Gilmore Park on   Saturday, September 29 from 6:00-9:00PM!! Help light up the path by bringing your carved pumpkin(s), with a battery powered tea light to Gilmore Park between 5:00-6:00PM. Pumpkins can be picked up between 9:00-9:30PM. Prizes will be awarded for the most spooktacular Jack-o-Lanterns.  Also, if you dare, enter the Haunted Forest. 6:00-7:00PM is less scary and 7:00-9:00PM is guaranteed to be spooktacular thanks to our youth volunteers.
