Join us for a free pumpkin walk through the forest!
Please bring us your pumpkins on November 1st during the day, and join us in the evening for the walk!
Attention, everyone! Are you looking for the next event to mark on your calendars?
Well, this November 1st come join us for a night of fun, wonder, and togetherness at our free annual Pumpkin Walk event. Bring your gently used pumpkins to share the magic of the season with your community, at the back parking lot of Eva James Memorial Community Centre, on Deevy Pines, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
As the sun begins to set, the enchantment will begin and at 6:30 p.m. we'll kick off the magical Pumpkin Walk through the forest, which lasts until 8:00 p.m.
The Community Pumpkin Walk is absolutely free!!! and it's our way of celebrating the beauty of fall and the generosity of our community. So come with family and friends to wander down a whimsical trail illuminated by your carved pumpkins, each telling a unique story and adding their flickering light to the canvas of the night. And that's not all folks! Don't forget to bring your favorite mug because our 3rd Kanata Scouts will be serving up delicious hot chocolate to keep you toasty as you explore the pumpkin wonderland.
It's a night you won't want to miss! November 1st! A special evening that's bound to light up your fall nights and warm your hearts.
See you all there! 😊
Yours in Scouting,
3rd Kanata Scouts
