>>Hauntfest shows Oregon District still 'strong,' partiers say
The Stoddard Avenue Pumpkin Glow stretches back to 1994, when founder Judy Chaffin, known as “The Pumpkin Lady,” started carving pumpkins and displaying them on the hill.
The first display featured 50 pumpkins and attracted about 36 people.
Today, the 1,000-squash show attracts visitors from as far away as Canada.
Chaffin died in December 2018, and the tradition continues.
Visitors can park at the Dayton Art Institute, Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church and throughout the Grafton Hill Neighborhood.
Stoddard Avenue will be closed 5 to 11 p.m. Tuesday for the event.
