That question gets asked a lot w/r/t Blaze, and the answer, quite simply, is the legion of volunteers who help scoop the pumpkins, prepping them for the creative guns, and then lighting the candles each night (err, afternoon, actually. It takes upwards of four hours to get everything lit!).
Some of the folks who pitch in are dedicated individuals who got in touch and offered to lend a hand or two, but many others come as part of a group pitch-in. Among the organizations helping out this year are:
Westchester ARC
Another Step
Living Resources of Northern Westchester
Cardinal McClusky School
Even Start
Pace University
Ossining High School
Croton High School
Rye Country Day School
John Jay Middle School
Westchester Putnam Boy Scouts
Heart of the Hudson Girl Scouts
United Way volunteer center
Stamford Girl Scouts
Kudos to who are unafraid of getting their hands pumpkiny...Y'all rock!
