20th Anniversary of the 'New' Great Pumpkin re-start in 2004

Dedication: This episode is dual-dedicated to both the late Mrs. Wright of Fairyland and the late Gilbert Stein of Marvin Lane, creator of this wonderful event.

Please join in and give a quick listen to hear all about this mountain tradition - the Great Pumpkin (of Fairyland).
History, tradition and great memories all combine to make this event a must attend for everyone at least once if not every year.

Children of all ages, 1 - 100, please come out and see the joy on Marvin Lane as the fun and awe return this Halloween for everyone.

Doug Stein, a longtime friend and close associate of The Pumpkin, will share info on when to come and how to get there and what parents can expect.

This has been a fun event that mountain children often refer to, once grown, as some of their great memories from growing up in our community. 

Parents, please bundle up and come by - you will be very glad you did. 

Again, many, many thanks to Doug Stein and his family for this gift to our community.
