2011 Pumpkins On Parade
The first annual Pumpkins on Parade in 2010 was a huge success. Last year over one thousand children and adults visited Pumpkins on Parade at Cave Spring. This year’s event will be on Saturday, October 22. With your help, we look forward to making the 2011 Pumpkins on Parade bigger and better. ---> 2010 Photo Gallery
Sponsors
We hope you will support this family event by being a Great Pumpkin Sponsor. Your company logo will be on the trail map given to each attendee and a pumpkin carved with your logo will be displayed in the sponsor area at the beginning of the trail.
Your donation of $100 will make it possible to provide pumpkins for carving to not-for-profit organizations while supporting Cave Spring. In addition, you can participate by carving pumpkins for display on the trail. A company pumpkin carving contest would be a great team building activity! Displays of 10 or pumpkins will be listed on the trail map.

“We can never have enough of nature. We must
be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, vast
and titanic features, the sea coast with Its wrecks,
the wilderness with its living and decaying trees, the
thundercloud and the rain. We need to witness our own
limits transgressed and some life pastures freely where
we never wander.”
It is gratifying to know that Raytown has a Walden
Pond just minutes from our front door. In a few short
steps we can have a place to watch God work his miracle
on the seasons of the year and allow quiet to surround
us. As the rain replenishes streams, Cave Spring can
replenish our spirit.
