Thank you seems so inadequate for the community response to this year’s Jack O’ Lantern Stoll, held this past Friday at Bellarmine University. We are always humbled by the unwavering dedication from our supporters and staff.
Friday morning came and so did the rain, although it was wet outside the spirits of the volunteers from University of Louisville and UPS and others were not dampened. After carving still more pumpkins, the volunteers, clients and staff, formed a human chain and 1100 jack o’ lanterns were loaded onto trailers and headed for Bellarmine where they were unloaded and place around the quad to be set aglow later in the evening.
The evening brought clearer skies and lots and lots of trick or treaters. The kids both young and young at heart were treated to Buddy Bat, The Michael Bush Band, Radio Disney, Krispy Kreme Donuts, Louisville’s Largest Pumpkin Pie, crafts and of course candy.
