“This family-friendly event is sure to creep the whole family entertained and is a well-needed cure from the summer-time blues,” said Erin McWhirter, a specialist with Dynamic Earth and Science North, in a news release.
Since 2014, Upper Canada Village has partnered with Dynamic Earth for Pumpkinferno. This partnership has been a key part of Halloween at Dynamic Earth.
The company said this event would not be possible without their sponsors, dedicated staff members and volunteers.
