The Great Pumpkin "Try It"- October 18, 2008



On Saturday, we had a great time in Boston at the Pumpkin Festival. The Festival is a fundraiser for Camp Sunshine, a camp for children with life threatening illness and their families. Every year, at festivals throughout the northeast, Camp Sunshine sets out to break the Guinness Book of World Records for the most lit jack-o-lanterns in one place. The fees for food, music, and entertainment go to support their programming. We supported their efforts by helping to move the pumpkins from the carving station and set up them up for lighting later in the day. It required great teamwork and cooperation, as we worked in partners to accomplish our mission. Sampling the pumpkin pie and pumpkin ice cream after lunch was the great end to a productive and fun trip.

It's a lot easier to move pumpkins with a partner!
