History
Ida Beutler, from North Logan, Utah, hosted the first Pumpkin Walk on Halloween, 1982. She provided cookies to local children who wished to attend. It was very successful and attendance the next year was an order of magnitude bigger. It eventually became more than the Beutlers could manage, so it was cancelled that year. The city of North Logan then took the lead and re-instituted the event. In 1991, the city moved it to its current location of Elk Ridge Park.
