Hyde Park community steps in to save Pumpkin Party [Video]

be short lived with high temperatures warming into the 60s and 70s by Wednesday. WHEN YOU’VE GOT A PUMPKIN PROBLEM… YOU NEED A PUMPKIN HERO TO STEP IN AND SAVE THE DAY. AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED WEDNESDAY AT HYDE PARK ELEMENTARY. LAST WEEK STUDENTS HAD CARVED 110 PUMPKINS FOR THEIR ANNUAL PUMPKIN WALK CELEBRATION. BUT THANKS TO UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER THIS WEEK… WHAT WAS ONCE A FIELD OF BRIGHT ORANGE… TURNED INTO A SOGGY MESS OVERNIGHT. HALF of THE PUMPKINS WERE LOST, SO STAFF JUMPED INTO ACTION. WITH A LITTLE ONLINE INVESTIGATION… THEY FOUND MORE PUMPKINS FOR SALE… AND SOON…75 BRAND NEW PUMPKINS TO REPLACE THE OLD CROP. BUT THEY DIDN’T STOP THERE. FAMILIES WERE CALLED IN TO HELP FINISH THE JOB. THANKS TO THE QUICK ACTION
