Help Light Up the Trail at Pumpkin Glow 2025!
The Nature Preserve Foundation is calling all pumpkin carvers to help create a magical autumn night at The Watershed! For our first-ever Pumpkin Glow, community-carved pumpkins will illuminate our nature trails!
Whether you’re carving solo, as a family, with friends, or as a local business, your pumpkin will be part of a spectacular display that brings the event to life.
Special Invitation to Local Businesses:
If your company participates, let us know your business name when registering. We’ll proudly display a sign with your name alongside your pumpkins so the community knows you helped light up the night!
How to participate:
- Register by September 19, 2025 to receive a free pumpkin to carve and display.
- Pick up your pumpkin(s) at The Watershed Nature Center:
- Saturday, October 4, 2025 | 8:00 am – 11:00 am
- Sunday, October 5, 2025 | 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
- Return your carved masterpiece for display:
- Friday, October 10, 2025 | 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
- Saturday, October 11, 2025 | 8:00 am – 11:00 am
If you register after September 19, you’re still welcome to join in—but you’ll need to bring your own pumpkin.
