Ives Woods Wall of Pumpkins
This year for Halloween, The Oberheide Family has named Garrett's Space as the charity recipient for the Ives Woods Pumpkin Wall challenge.
Last year they had over 120 pumpkins by dusk on Halloween lining the wall. You can help us earn a $10,000 donation towards Garrett's Space by carving a pumpkin, or several, to beat last year's count! Bring it on Halloween by 4 pm to 1245 Fair Oaks Parkway, Ann Arbor, Michigan and place on the wall with 2 to 3 tea lights inside to set it aglow. Also, please return the next day to collect your pumpkin. The wall is located on Ives Lane, near where Granger Ave. ends. Candy will be handed out at that location. It's truly a beautiful site to see all the pumpkins on the Ives Woods Pumpkin Wall! We appreciate you considering carving a pumpkin and spreading the word to others about bringing pumpkins to benefit our organization!
