The New England Wildlife Center in Weymouth is calling on the community's help when it comes to helping them carve one thousand pumpkins! These carved gourds will be the centerpiece of their Night of a Thousand Faces event. This annual occasion is a festive celebration that spans two nights and invites attendees to walk through their nature trail will be lit up by hundreds of pumpkin eyes glittering in the blackness of the night.

"Our nature trail will come alive with 1,000 lit-up pumpkins, each carved into masterpieces!" Explains The New England Wildlife Center. "Along with tasty treats, hospital tours, and animal presentations - this is an event you won't want to miss!"

The New England Wildlife Center runs two non-profit wildlife veterinary hospitals and education centers located in Massachusetts. They treat sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife. Events such as their Annual Night Of a Thousand Faces help them raise money to continue doing the great work they do for our community's wildlife.
