Join the community on October 30 for a day full of music, food, and exciting Halloween activities like pumpkin carving, scavenger hunts, and of course, a Halloween costume parade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPumpKIN Fest is about family, fun, and community,\u201d said organizer Eric Greer. \u201cIt\u2019s giving members of our Township the opportunity to support local development while making great memories and connecting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>PumpKIN Fest is a new event created to help residents feel at home and upbeat in their community again. After being struck sick and stuck inside for over three years now, Greer hopes that PumpKIN Fest will prove to be just what the doctor ordered to raise spirits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe pandemic took a lot from our sense of unity, so we want to change that by creating opportunities for people to counteract that,\u201d said Greer. \u201cAnd a festival that&#8217;s also a fundraiser for the splash pads is a great way to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greer hopes that PumpKIN Fest will become an annual event in the Township, celebrating Halloween and the resilience of the residents. He said that he and his partner started PumpKIN Fest because Halloween is Greer\u2019s favorite holiday, but they didn\u2019t find any large, community-spanning events for the season. He wanted to lead by example and show that the township can support greater community activities.<\/p>\n<p>PumpKIN Fest will run from noon to 5 p.m. on October 30 in Yahoo Park, at 8-22 Marcel Street in Embrun. Tickets are $5 ahead of time or $8 at the gate, and children 13 and under are free. There\u2019s also a special bonus offer; the first 60 people to donate $20 or more will receive a thank-you gift bag filled with sponsor goodies, and have a pumpkin reserved for them in the carving\/painting event.<\/p>\n<p>Greer also mentioned they\u2019re still looking for volunteers, so any school students looking to fill out their hours should contact Greer through the event Facebook page or by email at greer.eric@icloud.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russell Township is raising spirits this Halloween with a new Halloween event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":25979,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[42],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture"],"acf":[],"featured_media_global":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
