Kingsville Communities in Bloom Committee rolls out Pumpkin Parade

By Paul Forman

Halloween festivities wrapped up on a peaceful note on November 1 in Kingsville with many families admiring the diversity of jack-o-lantern carvings placed along the lower bowl loop in Lakeside Park.

Put on by the Kingsville Communities in Bloom Committee for a sixth time, the annual parade featured 786 pumpkins that were lit up with the help of the Kingsville Scouts. The parade served two purposes; providing entertainment for local families and keeping food waste out of the dump that instead will be used as feed for domesticated animals on county farms.

In keeping with the three Rs theme, the Town of Kingsville is also getting in on all things Halloween as they are collecting old costumes for a Halloween Costume Swap that they are holding in the new year. Old costumes can be brought to Kingsville Arena for the upcoming swap.
