More than 400 swimmers took part in Clarksville Parks and Recreation’s annual Floating Pumpkin Patch Saturday afternoon.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Kimberly Gilbert, Clarksville Parks and Recreation’s Aquatic Superintendent shared her thoughts about the much anticipated day at the pool.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our fourth year of the Floating Pumpkin Patch,\u201d Gilbert said. \u201cWe have some carnival games, face painting, and inflatables outside. Inside, we have the floating pumpkin patch and a decorating station for them to enjoy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are expecting between 300 and 400 kids again this year. It’s a great event and the kids absolutely love it. This is a great alternative for some of the families who don’t have the opportunity to go to a real pumpkin patch.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pool remained open for recreational swim throughout the event, which lasted from 2:00pm \u2013 5:30pm. Later, from 7:00pm \u2013 10:30pm, New Providence Swimming Pool became the site of Parks and Recreation’s annual Haunted Swim.<\/p>\n

Gilbert says that information on all upcoming events can be found at the Clarkville Parks and Recreation website, www.cityofclarksville.com<\/a><\/p>\n
