On Saturday, October 13, 2007 the Guadalupe River Park & Gardens hosted the 12th annual Pumpkins in the Park, an environmental harvest festival for young families designed to create awareness of the Guadalupe River and celebrate the fall season.  10,000 to 12,000 people attended Pumpkins in the Park to learn about the Guadalupe River, make scarecrows, decorate pumpkins, taste apples and cider, listen to great music, eat great food and  partake in countless other activities.  The Friends of GRPG worked hard, and though the ground was a little wet, people still came and made it all worth while.

 

 

 

We Needed Volunteers, and we got them!
We had more volunteers than ever.  Lucy Perez and all of the event planners would like to thank the countless volunteers who made this event possible.
