Flashlight Pumpkin Hunt 2020

Thank You for Joining Oakdale Recreation at the Flashlight Pumpkin Hunt!

With the moon full overhead, kids returned to the Oakdale Nature Preserve in costume using their flashlights to find pumpkins along the luminary lit trails. 2020’s event moved the party and music outdoors, minimizing physical contact with a one way loop through the forest, with families stopping at stations along the route. Kids voted for the best pumpkin carving, played limbo, took home a frosted pumpkin cookie and goodie bag, grabbed candy from the candy hedge, and visited the Oakdale Fire Department at the spooky inflatables selfie station.
