“Throwing a party for the city” on New Year’s Eve

We stopped by the warehouse of Vineyard Church Circleville to talk with Pastor Ron VanHorn about this year’s “Round Town Night One“.  The GIANT pumpkin that is “dropped” or lowered is made of Styrofoam and is actually quite a bit lighter than the real ones we see each year at the Circleville Pumpkin Show.  It did get a few bumps and scratches, so he said their team will do some touch up to prepare it for the big New Year’s Eve party they’ve thrown since 2017 for the city.  Ron said the first year, which was by the courthouse, was freezing but there were still quite a few that braved the weather.  Last year was the first year in the new Pumpkin Show Park, it was very beautiful, quite warm and the Pumpkin Show Park was packed.

“Round Town Night One” runs from 9pm-1am with the “pumpkin drop” starting at ~11:55pm.

Here is video from the 2018-19 “Pumpkin Drop”, or Round Town Night One New Year’s Eve Party

Some of what you can expect beyond the games, music and fun:
– Watt Street Tavern will have soup
– Trinity Lutheran Church is providing cookies.
– Corky Que is bringing their food truck.
– Uptown Circleville is a sponsor.
– DJ Nick will be DJing

“Round Town Night One” is a non-alcoholic, family friendly event that is hosted by Vineyard Church Circleville and is their way to “Throw a party for the city of Circleville”.

Here is the promo sheet from the event:

As an added note from Dimple Times, the Pumpkin Show Park cost money to use this year.  Anyone who might be interested in helping to offset the cost please feel free to reach out to Vineyard Church Circleville direct.
