The ‘Great Pumpkin Giveaway’ returns to Weichert, Realtors® – Tovar Properties

— Michele Watson

Residents of all ages stopped by Weichert, Realtors® – Tovar Properties last year for the company’s first-ever ‘Great Pumpkin Giveaway.’ The annual event returns October 12.

LOVES PARK, Ill. / Sept. 30, 2019 – The cars pulling into an East Drive real estate agency the second Saturday in October last year seemed to never end. It was matched by a steady flow of foot traffic throughout the day.
The combination of the two brought organized chaos and Halloween fans – both big and small – to Weichert, Realtors® – Tovar Properties in Loves Park for the company’s first-ever ‘Great Pumpkin Giveaway.’
And the Weichert® affiliate expects to draw an even bigger crowd at their 2nd Annual free pumpkin giveaway on Saturday, October 12 with the addition of a petting zoo, a safety fire prevention demonstration, courtesy the Loves Park fire department, and much more.
“Our first pumpkin giveaway last year was a huge success, so we knew we had to do it again this year – just bigger and better,” said Rion Tovar-South, the managing broker/owner of Weichert Realtors® – Tovar Properties. “And that’s exactly what we’re doing.”
The event, which is co-sponsored by Draper and Kramer Mortgage and Platinum Home Mortgage, gives Tovar-South and her team of agents a way to thank the community for its support over the years.
It’s also a great way to get local residents into the Halloween spirit.
Tovar-South’s office purchased hundreds of pumpkins from local farmers for last year’s inaugural event, which seemed to go in a blink of an eye according to Tovar-South.
“I don’t think any of us could have predicted the turnout and local support we got last year. People just seemed to come from everywhere,” added Tovar-South.
The event organizers will also be collecting donations of hats and gloves at the free pumpkin giveaway to donate to Just Breathe 815, a local non-profit organization that provides clothing, meals, toiletries and sports equipment for homeless and at-risk teens in Illinois.
The second annual ‘Great Pumpkin Giveaway’ takes place from 12 noon to 3 p.m. in the parking lot at Weichert, Realtors® – Tovar Properties, located at 5812 East Drive in Loves Park.
