(Along those lines, the school <a href=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/2019\/07\/transylvania-sources-locally-grown-gourds-for-annual-pumpkinmania\/\">sources the pumpkins locally<\/a> from Overman\u2019s Bluegrass Fruits and Vegetables.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the jack-o&#8217;-lanterns themselves are headed to the center for an additional post-Halloween snack. The rest are headed to the Haley Pike compost facility where a city contractor will process them into mulch, according to the City of Lexington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/pumpkinguts2-810x489.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/pumpkinguts2-810x489.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/pumpkinguts2-350x211.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/pumpkinguts2-730x440.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/pumpkinguts2-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/pumpkinguts2-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2019\/11\/pumpkinguts2.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><figcaption>This year&#8217;s PumpkinMania display came down today and is headed to a compost heap.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After carving more than 600 jack-o&#8217;lanterns for this year&#8217;s PumpkinMania, Transylvania donated the scooped-out pumpkin guts to the Kentucky Wildlife Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":8621,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[30,1,344],"tags":[51,151],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-8604","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-news","category-transy-partners","tag-pumpkinmania","tag-transy-partners"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) -
