WEYBURN - Over 1,200 people did some early trick-or-treating at Pumpkin Lane on Sunday evening, put on by Weyburn Tourism, along with 小蓝视频east College and Prairie Sky Co-op.
Weyburn Tourism noted the large crowds out under clear skies made the event a “resounding success” for the third annual event, a “free, family-friendly event created an atmosphere filled with laughter, excitement, and fall magic, proving once again to be a highlight in Weyburn’s autumn calendar.”
The event welcomed children and adults of all ages, with many local organizations and businesses handing out candies along the park pathways lit up with donated carved pumpkins.
Weyburn Tourism thanked the City of Weyburn for their co-operation in making the city’s walking paths available for this community event, located near the off-leash dog park, providing the perfect setting for Pumpkin Lane.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the turnout and the joy that was shared by everyone who attended,” said Monica Osborn, executive director of Weyburn Tourism.
“Seeing so many smiling faces, young and old alike, reinforces why Pumpkin Lane has become such a beloved tradition in our community,” she added.
Weyburn Tourism extended a thank-you also to the businesses and organizations that contributed to the trick-or-treating aspect of the event, with an acknowledgement to their partners, 小蓝视频east College and Prairie Sky Co-op.
The Weyburn Theatre Co-operative committee hosted the barbecue of hot dogs and hamburgers on the site, as a fundraiser for the new theatre, adding a special purpose to the evening’s festivities.
“Pumpkin Lane truly highlights the collaborative spirit of Weyburn,” said Osborn. “It’s this partnership between our local businesses, organizations and community members that creates such meaningful and magical experiences for everyone involved.”
