10-year-old helps create wheelchair accessible Halloween event

The "Rolling Pumpkin Patch" was designed to accommodate children who use walkers or wheelchairs. The event was created in partnership with 10-year-old Lily Dobson, who uses a wheelchair herself, and her family.

Jennifer Dobson, Lily's mom, says the idea came about years ago, after a tough day at a traditional pumpkin patch. She credits Lily for the event's success.

"All this happened because she has shown us a world that we had no idea about. It's been pretty cool to just be a part of this community, and a part of people loving people," Dobson said. "It's been really special."

More than 275 kids were registered for Saturday's event.

Many of them are members of the Lakeshore Foundation.
