Find the pick of the patch at Pumpkin Palooza, a free pumpkin giveaway hosted by St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care-Bucyrus Campus. The family-fun event is set for 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 16, at 2450 W. North Ave.
Pumpkins will be available (one per family, while supplies last) in and around St. Ann Center’s Indaba Band Shell grounds, just off N. 25th St. and west of the building. The pumpkins were purchased with a donation from event sponsor All of Us Research Program.
“Halloween is a holiday staple for so many families,” said Gloria Miller, special events director for St. Ann Center. “We’re excited to offer children a few hours to use their creativity and enjoy the fun and fantasy of the season safely, right in their community.”
