A total of $10,000 is needed

KCST gives free pumpkins to youth tomorrow
A Fundraiser for the “Boys & Girls Clubs” at the
Administration Office/Teen Center at 1501 Airport Road
Coast Radio KCST FM
106.9 continues its anniversary
tradition of giving away free
pumpkins to area youths
tomorrow, Oct. 22, starting at
3 p.m. with the Original Great
Pumpkin Giveaway.
The Great Pumpkin Give-
away will be in the parking lot
of The Saw Shop on Sixth
Street, off Highway 101.
More than 3,000 pounds of
pumpkins will be given away
at 4 p.m. to youth under 17 on
a first-come, first-served basis.
The pumpkins go fast, so
parents and guardians are
asked to arrive early.
Award-winning chainsaw
sculptor Ryan Anderson will
use traditional carving tools as
he sculpts a pair of giant pump-
kins. One of the two carved
pumpkins will be given away
WEDNESDAY THURSDAY
to a lucky entrant between 3
and 5 p.m.
The other will go on display
at Florence True Value.
Since 2009, the pumpkins
have been distributed from the
parking lot of The Saw Shop
and Old School Furniture.
“We look forward to it all
year long,” said True Value
spokesperson Angela Hufford.
“Really! The looks on the kids’
faces when they get their own
pumpkin can be exciting.”
Hufford, along with her hus-
band Mark and her brother
Mitchell Lemhouse, has also
created some new games this
year that will be available to
play while kids bide their time
for the “big moment.”
The hot dogs, served up by
the Florence-Siuslaw Lions
Club, begin at 3 p.m., as will
the games and free treat bags
filled with candy provided by
Mo’s and Grocery Outlet.
Local volunteer firefighters
distribute the pumpkins right at
4 p.m. — a task they also look
forward to.
“Most of the pumpkins are
distributed in the first 15 min-
utes,” said Hufford.
KCST general manager Jon
Thompson says the event is
truly one of community.
“We couldn’t do it without the
Lemhouse family at True Value.
The firefighters and the Lions
help out, and we also have two
dozen local sponsors who get in
on the fun,” he said.
Coast Radio News Director
Bob Sneddon will be broad-
casting live before, during and
after the event from 2:30 to
5:30 p.m.
