GoodGym returned to the Enchanted Autumnfest this evening to cover the peak visiting period as extra security and way-finders.

With the pumpkin patch packed to the brim with kids and adults alike, there was plenty to keep an eye on. Our dynamic pumpkin-guarding team had a blast; even with one volunteer arriving very late 🎃!

Meanwhile, over on the light trail, it was all about crowd control. The rest of the team guided visitors into the newly dubbed Graveyard of 'Doom', introducing them to 'Stan' the skeleton along the way.

Fortunately, all our 'victims' made it through intact - no lost arms or legs to report! On their way back, we kept the crowds moving smoothly while soaking up endless compliments about how incredible the trail looked. (Of course, we already knew that, having made the most of the perk to walk the trail before and after our shift!).

Time flew, and after a busy 90 minutes of spook-tacular volunteering, we wanted to stay (it was so much fun)!. An absolute blast of a return visit, fantastic job, team. Welcome to James, who was making his GoodGym debut - we hope too see you again soon. 🌟
