Our 5th annual pumpkin donation is fast approaching!  That’s right, for the 5th year in a row, TPP is creating a baby pumpkin patch at the UIHC and we need YOUR help to make it happen.  We’re talking oodles and oodles of cuteness people!  Simply use orange and green yarn to make pumpkin hats and matching booties.  Afterall, what else are you going to use that yarn for?!
