Pumpkin Parade

What creativity!  The Hawks really brought out their best for the 2024 Pumpkin Parade.  Ingenious ways to turn an ordinary pumpkin into a work of art inspired by everyone’s favorite characters.  Picture books, chapter books, TV and movie characters; we had them all! 

Check out the pumpkins on the highlight reel.  (Run time 9:28.)  WeVideo - https://www.wevideo.com/view/3602206892 and/or YouTube - https://youtu.be/hZtu7Re5Qmo
