Cinderella's pumpkin coach, Olaf the snowman from the Disney movie "Frozen" and a turkey with a toothbrush tail are among the entries in the annual pumpkin decorating contest sponsored by Ai Orthodontics, Emmaus. The dental practice shares the spoils of the contest with children in the inpatient Children's Hospital in Lehigh Valley Health Network - Cedar Crest campus. The pumpkins decorate patient rooms and get to leave the hospital with the patient at the end of the patient's stay. "They all find homes by Halloween or shortly after," Vanessa Mackey, a Lehigh Valley Health Network spokesperson said. Doctors, nurses and staff members also enjoy the annual visit by the pumpkins.
