Pumpkin Palooza

Pumpkin Palooza

Saturday, October 29, 2011 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Location: Lakewood High School, 14100 Franklin Boulevard

There's fun for everyone at Pumpkin Palooza! Imagine lots of carnival games, tables full of crafts for kids to make, a haunted hallway, a costume parade, Halloween songs, yummy food, spooky storytelling, a pumpkin carver surrounded by an awesome patch of decorated pumpkins that anyone can win...all spread out in three giant spaces at Lakewood High School. It's a great way to celebrate fall and show off kids' costumes before Halloween!

Admission is free. Tickets are 25¢ each, with the majority of attractions priced at one ticket. Lakewood's Divisions of Youth and Early Childhood, and many community organizations come together to make Pumpkin Palooza possible. All proceeds from Pumpkin Palooza benefit Lakewood Christian Service Center and Lakewood Charitable Assistance Corporation.

This is Pumpkin Palooza's 12th annual "Make A Difference Day" celebration. Palooza-goers are encouraged to bring non-perishable food items that will be distributed to Lakewood families in need. Anyone interested in decorating a pumpkin (no carved pumpkins, please) for the raffle should bring their finished creations to the East Cafeteria of Lakewood High School on Friday, Oct. 28th (3-5pm) or Saturday, Oct. 29th (10am - 12:00pm).
