The Landing of North Haven, a leisure care community, brought A Night at The Pumpkin Patch alive last weekend, Oct. 23-24. Three-hundred carved pumpkins and Halloweenthemed vignettes were on display for local families to enjoy from the comfort of their cars. Scenes featured everything from superheroes to giant spiders and skeletons holding hands. Also, visitors voted for their favorite jack-o-lanterns, which were carved by residents and staff of The Landing, along with community members. A Night at The Pumpkin Patch was sponsored by medicarect.com, North Haven Magazine and Stay at Home Care. A $5 donation was collected, and all funds raised will go to the North Haven Rotary to support nonprofits in the area. More photos on Page 11.
Bulk leaves are collected from residential properties Monday through Friday in accordance with the established schedule and as weather conditions allow. In the event of a snow storm or other emergency, leaf collection will be temporarily suspended. Leaves are collected in the fall only.
