Pumpkin Carving
The final contest is the pumpkin carving contest. That will be right on the square starting at 9:30 am. There are two age categories are 5-8 year olds and 9-12 year olds.. Supplies will be furnished to the carvers. It is first come, first serve. The pumpkin must be carved by 11:00 am so they can be judged. First, second, and third for both categories will get prizes.
