The walk begins and ends in Hilliard's Station Park. Enjoy a fire, smores, and hot chocolate after the walk. Dress for the weather and be prepared for slippery paths in case of snow.

Sit back, relax and watch the glow at Hilliard’s “Pumpkin Float and Flick" in Municipal Park. Enjoy our park after the sun sets and the pumpkins are launched in the pond. Enjoy a walk on the lantern-lit trail before we end the evening watching Willy Wonka. Bring your lawn chair, blanket, picnic, and pre-carved sugar pumpkin (must be 5 pounds or less) to float in the pond.
Due to the logistics of removing the pumpkins from the pond, you may not get your pumpkin back after the event.
