PRESENTS

f you drove through The Pumpkin Patch this year at The Landing of North
IHaven, there were some changes. First over 130 carved pumpkins. Thank you to
Keith at Stop and Shop who continues to support my endeavors, Sara and her guys
at Nelcon who drove the pumpkins to the fairgrounds for me, then students and
the work of Donna and Andrea from the NHHS PTSA. A special gigantic thank
you to Andrea and Jeff for . . . pretty much everything.

For the first year, we went scarier as it got later. Michael Myers, Chainsaw killers,
clowns (I hate clowns) and an AMAZING performance by a hospital garbed,
screaming girl who Michael killed about 50 times nightly. All the scary is thanks
to Chris, his family and friends.

I had the opportunity to work with the Lion’s Club and the Leos on the Pumpkin
Patch in October. Great group of kids who I hope I get to work with again. Thank
you, Ed, Alan and Lisa.
And, thank you to my sponsors. That’s what makes our town so special. A
community that bands together to make the town a better place. No town has the
spirit that we have. Makes me proud.
