SYLVANIA, Ala.—The Town of Sylvania hosted the second Annual Pumpkins in the Park, Saturday.  The event boasted over twenty vendors, a car show, live entertainment , pumpkin painting and numerous activities for the kids.  Young and old enjoyed the time of fellowship with their neighbors as they sat and watched the children play and listened to live music.

Mayor Emily Wooten was pleased with the turnout. “ Pumpkins in the Park was a huge success especially with rainy weather in the morning hours.  The turnout was larger than last year and all feedback has been positive.  Entertainment was amazing and of course the pumpkin painting was a huge hit with the children.  This festival has proven to be a wonderful community event in only two years! I am excited about what will it will become in the future!”
