HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Pumpkinaries is back and at the EAGLE Media Studios Monday Oct. 30 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. to benefit the Rise Up Reno Prevention Network.
"It's a really fun event we put on," said John Young with Rise Up Reno. "All of our programs, what we do, revolve around prevention and strengthening families and helping kids make good choices. This event, there's a lot of cool stuff going on. We have inflatables, there's cotton candy, there will be hot dogs, popcorn, the fire department will be here, the sheriff's department, police department. There will be a ton of games put on by our youth leaders."
There will also be live music from Morgan Wilk, Colton Gartleman and Katie Ziegler. My 93-1's Daren Dunn will be broadcasting live. Bring the kids in their favorite family-friendly costume. Everything is free.
"This year, just in our youth leadership program within the county, I believe we are around 125 or 135 kids in that," Young said. "As far as the young kids we serve in our mentoring programs like read with me and all that, by the end of the year, that will be in the thousands of kids that we reach."
