Event Details:

I (state your name) do solemnly pledge:
To eat lots of Pumpkin Festival food
To ride lots of Pumpkin Festival rides
To put my trash and my recyclables in the proper bins
To ask for help when I need it
To help when I am able
And to take pride in MY hometown,
The Pumpkin Capital Of The World!
Morton, Illinois”
