WE’RE BRINGING THE PUMPKIN LADY HOME!

I have been waiting a long time to share this news with you.

The Pumpkin Lady of Fond du Lac is coming home to Fond du Lac for a special screening at THELMA on Thursday, October 29 at 6:00 PM!

And honestly, this moment wouldn’t be possible without you.

Many of you supported this film when it was still just an idea. You donated, shared the GoFundMe, told your friends, shared memories and photographs, and simply believed that this story was worth telling.

Now, you get to see what you helped create. ❤️

This special screening is my way of bringing the film home to the community that inspired it—and saying thank you to the people who helped carry it this far.

We are very close to completing the film, and this screening marks an exciting milestone before we begin preparing for the 2027 film festival season and the film’s next chapter.

There is still a little work—and fundraising—ahead of us, but for now, I want to celebrate how far we’ve come together.

So please come home to Fond du Lac with us.

Come see Loula’s story.
Come see your community on the big screen.
And come celebrate the film you helped bring to life.

I truly hope to see you there.

Thank you for believing in The Pumpkin Lady of Fond du Lac. ❤️
