On Oct. 30, about 80 local residents responded to an invitation from Jim Quinlan and Rhonda Mohlener to carve pumpkins from 4 to 8 p.m. More than 100 pumpkins were made available and 100 were carved by 7:30 p.m. by all the talented and artistic neighbors young and old who showed up. Jim Quinlan has organized this event for three years now. “Only in Seal Beach would such a big group of neighbors come together to offer their incredible creativity in the Spirit of Halloween and thanks to Devynn’s Gardens for donating numerous pumpkins,” he said.
