										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There were witches, ghosts and gnomes. Princesses were singing, pigs flew and movie characters came to life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No, it wasn’t Disneyland. It was pumpkins.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Organizers of the past weekend’s North Logan Pumpkin Walk were excited about the way in which the new theme, “Imagine That,” allowed for creativity with the displays created with pumpkins.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I&#8217;m excited for this year because the theme really gives our scene-makers a broad range of artistic creativity and imagination to surprise everyone,” said Sallie Petersen, one of this year’s scene-makers.</span></p>

The Pumpkin Walk is located in Elk Ridge Park in North Logan and runs on October 17-19 and 21-22 2019</p></div>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wrapping up on Tuesday, the annual event features hundreds of carved pumpkins along a path with dozens of intricate displays. The Pumpkin Walk, now in its 36th year, regularly draws more than 20,000 visitors during its five-day run time. Many of the scenes were inspired by popular books and movies, such as “Alice in Wonderland” and “Mary Poppins.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our group wanted to make our scene ‘Frozen,’ to capture the children&#8217;s imaginations that walk through this year,” Petersen said. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">That display consisted of two scenes from the popular Disney film and songs playing on a speaker.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“‘Imagine That’ is a fun, open-ended theme,” said Aubrey Bailey, another scene-maker, in an email. “It allows for the creators and other volunteers to really show off their skills. If you can imagine it… you can make it happen.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gina Worthen, a Pumpkin Walk committee member, said each year, a theme is picked to create a sense of cohesiveness between the scenes and to hone the scene-makers’ creative skills. This year was more open to interpretation than in previous years.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“I think there are really two best aspects to Pumpkin Walk,” Petersen said. “Pumpkin Walk is family-friendly and it demonstrates the creativity and volunteerism that is in our valley.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the appeals to children this year, Worthen said the event attracts people of all ages, from Utah State students to senior citizens. It is a popular date and friend activity, but, at its core, it is a family event.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The Pumpkin Walk is such a festive and fun family activity,” said Sandy Ballard, one of the event coordinators. “It is wonderful to participate in something that the whole community can enjoy.” </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It’s just a gift to the community,” Worthen said.</span></p>
