Twilight Pumpkin Walk is Sunday at Fellows Riverside Gardens


YOUNGSTOWN — More than 1,000 illuminated jack-o’-lanterns will greet folks Sunday night as they walk the grounds of Fellows Riverside Gardens in Mill Creek Park.

Keith Kaiser, Mill Creek MetroParks horticulture director, said thousands of Mahoning Valley residents have come to the gardens for the annual Pumpkin Walk at Twilight since its inception in 2004.

Kaiser said since Thursday, dozens of volunteers and students from five local schools spent time carving 13,000 pounds of pumpkins — more than 1,000 individual pumpkins — to prepare for Sunday’s event.
