The Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow will be back in Grafton Hill on October 25 & 26, 2021 from 6-10pm each night! For many years Judy Chaffin chaired the glow on the hill behind the Greek Orothodox Church until she got sick and could no longer do it. In 2017 the Grafton Hill Historic District took charge of the event that Daytonians had come to love . Judy Chaffin, the Pumpkin Lady passed away in December of 2018, but with lots of volunteer help the Pumpkin glow continues.
Organizer John Edinger says, “we are so excited to bring back the Glow this year! Volunteering with your friends, family or coworkers is almost more fun than the actual event—come on out and carve one or twenty! Looking forward to seeing everyone on the Hill!”
It takes a lot of volunteers to put on this exciting FREE event for the community and they need your help! Volunteers will be gutting, tracing, and carving from October 21-24. This activity is fun for all ages. Come for an hour or stay the whole day. Bring your friends, family, coworkers, and appetite–food will be available for volunteers throughout the day!
