In what has become the must-see event of the Halloween season regionally, the Jack O’ Lantern Spectacular opened for the fourth consecutive year in South Louisville’s Iroquois Park.
 Councilwoman Welch joined Mayor Greg Fischer, Parks Assistant Director Marty Storch, Southwest Dream Team President
Vince Jarboe, Metro Parks Foundation Vice Chair
Brooke Pardue, and Travis Reckner, Passion For
