It’s been a week, and we still can’t get over the happiness that filled every corner of Pumpkin Day! With over 70 families joining in, this was our biggest George Mark family event ever — and the energy was pure magic.
From Pixar drawing sessions and a visit from Creu Cat, a miniature horse, and an appearance by Lou Seal of the San Francisco Giants, to arts and crafts, cupcake and pumpkin decorating, and a lively photo booth — joy was everywhere! Families met a baby dino, their favorite droids and familiar folks from a galaxy far, far away, Earth’s mightiest heroes, enchanting princesses, and even a fearless demon hunter.
There was Fun with Pun, our favorite joke-telling friend; a roving magician; plus a fire truck and Sheriff’s Patrol car that made quite the impression.
Free burgers and hotdogs hot off the grill, ice cream, free cuddly teddy bears, and costumes for everyone made it a feast for the senses. And when the singing, dancing, and costume fashion show came to a close, we capped the day with treats galore, a fun-filled trick-or-treat adventure — the perfect ending to a perfect day.
For our families, it was a day to simply be together — to laugh, play, and make memories that will be cherished for a long time to come. As George Mark parent Monifa shared so beautifully, “This is going to be a core memory that we’re gonna cherish and think about.”
