This fall, let your imagination take flight with Letters to the Pumpkin King!
Children (and the young at heart) are invited to send a letter to the mysterious Pumpkin King—guardian of the harvest season and keeper of autumn magic. In return, each participant will receive a personalized reply straight from the Pumpkin King’s desk!
How to Participate:
1. Write your letter to the Pumpkin King.
2. Place it in an envelope and mail it to:
Pumpkin King
c/o Davenport Parks and Recreation
700 W River Dr
Davenport, IA 52802
3. Be sure to include a self-addressed, stamped envelope so the Pumpkin King can send a reply!
Letters must be received by October 15, 2025 to ensure a response before the end of the season.
This heartwarming tradition encourages creativity, literacy, and a little seasonal wonder—perfect for families looking to celebrate the cozy magic of autumn!
