Milwaukee pumpkin giveaway offers free Halloween fun
MILWAUKEE - Families lined up at Victory over Violence Park on Friday afternoon, Oct. 23 to pick up pumpkins.
The pumpkins were donated by several organizations -- including the Historic King Drive Business Improvement District -- hoping a little thing like carving pumpkins can provide a little joy.
"You'll find that some of the kids can't even pick up that pumpkin because it's a little heavy, but that's the one they want," said Deshea Agee with the Historic King Drive Business Improvement District. "Them having a chance to pick up a pumpkin, go home with it, carve, take a picture, you know we want to spread some love, spread some joy, and that's what we need right now."
