Over the weekend, News Center 7 stopped by the Greek Orthodox Church in Grafton Hill to watch as volunteers carved more than 800 pumpkins. Saturday was the second day of carving for volunteers.
“It really feels good every year. After doing this for five days straight, we’re like, ‘why are we doing this?’ It’s so much work. It’s a lot of effort, but it’s really worth it when you stand in the hill and you see all the families and the people just really enjoying the pumpkins and it’s a special night,” said John Edinger, President of the Grafton Hill Association.
