Youth Have a Blast at the 6th Annual Pumpkin Games!

This year’s 6th Annual Pumpkin Games with FUMC Denton Youth was one for the books! Students in grades 6–12 gathered at Avondale Park for an evening filled with laughter, friendly competition, and plenty of flying pumpkins.

From pumpkin baseball to bowling to launching pumpkins across the field with giant slingshots, there was no shortage of creative chaos and fall fun. After sharing a meal together, our youth jumped right into the games—cheering each other on, celebrating big wins, and laughing through every smashed pumpkin moment.

Huge thanks to all our incredible volunteers and youth leaders who helped make the night possible, and to Matt Wills Photography for capturing so many amazing moments.
