Pumpkin Festival 2020 Information

Hi Weston Community,
We invite you to participate in Weston High School’s 15th annual (COVID-adapted) Pumpkin Festival in support of Camp Sunshine, a camp for terminally ill children in Casco, Maine!While this event has previously been run as an in-person festival on the Town Green, due to COVID-19 town and state-wide restrictions and safety concerns, Camp Sunshine has made the decision that all of their events this fall will be encompassed into “Pumpkin Fest – The Great Pumpkin Run/Walk/Roll” that will be held virtually from October 18-25th.To be a part of this, you can walk, run, or bike a 5k, 10k, half-marathon, or a marathon (cumulative over the entire week). You can also win prizes for the distance you walk, run, or bike, and how much you fundraise!

For more further instructions on how to participate and track your mileage : http://events.campsunshine.org/site/TR?fr_id=1510&pg=entry

We encourage you to donate to the WHS Pumpkin Festival Team on the Camp Sunshine page to support this great cause. Our fundraising page can be found here: http://events.campsunshine.org/site/TR/Marathons/General?team_id=4253&pg=team&fr_id=1510

We have also added instructions below on how to fundraise and participate!

Thank you all for your consideration and continued support of WHS and Camp Sunshine!

Sincerely,
WHS Pumpkin Festival Committee
