<\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n\u201cIt was such a simple way to brighten people\u2019s day and to help give people some festive decorations that they might not otherwise have,\u201d Fort Hays State University student Kayleah Petree said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project was a fun way FHSU students could serve the community, while having fun with their creativity and participating in the fellowship CKI has to offer.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think projects like this benefit others because it allows them to become more involved in the community,\u201d Petree said. \u201cThese things are important to do, because they help us to become more of a community and to get outside ourselves and serve others.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, the project proved to be a success for students, and the community. CKI plans to deliver the pumpkins to residents in nursing homes around Hays, in order to brighten the atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
