City of Lake Mary, You’ve Been Pumpkin’d
For the second year, McCoy was presenting sponsor of City of Lake Mary Parks and Recreation Department’s “You’ve Been Pumpkin’d.” First, residents registered online to have their yards “pumpkin’d” with goodies and festive décor. Then, Lake Mary Branch team members selected a winner each week in October in a random drawing on McCoy’s Facebook. This safe, family friendly event brings the community together, and we're proud to have been part of the fun.
