The new Worcester YouthBuild class went to the Ecotarium again this year to help prepare for their annual Great Pumpkin Fest held on October 24.

Many local groups had carved hundreds of pumpkins for the event. During the family event the pumpkins are lit with battery-powered lights along the paths that surround the Ecotarium. Students and staff unloaded the pumpkins and placed them in their display areas, arranging them for their best viewing.

Since the students are in the Mental Toughness phase of their program, this was their first community service project.

On the following Monday the students returned for the clean-up phase of the project, disposing of the 1,500 pumpkins used this year.
