These are some of the images I captured during today's PUMPKIN FESTIVAL in CENTRAL PARK. The New York City Parks & Recreation and Camp Sunshine sponsored the festival. Proceeds from this annual event will be donated to CAMP SUNSHINE, a national retreat for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. This year's Pumpkin Festival featured activities for all ages, including:
