Pumpkin Carving Contest

Something y'all may not know about me is that I am a Unicef volunteer. If you're unfamiliar with their Trick or Treat program you can find more info here. This is their 60th anniversary and my art kids are looking for a way to raise money. What we've come up with is a pumpkin carving contest.

This contest is open to ages 16 and under and there are 3 prize baskets available. The 3 prizes are Most Creative, Funniest, and Scariest. The prize baskets are filled with donations from local merchants. These include both goods, coupons, and gift certificates. There will be a manned display set up downtown on the square all day Friday the 29th. This display will include the numbered contest entries as well as additional information. Each entry will have a corresponding famous orange Unicef boxes. To vote for an entry a person has only to make a donation to that pumpkin's orange box. That evening at the end of the Trick or Treat on the Square event (6 pm), all box contents will be counted and winners will be contacted. The winners receive their prize baskets and the money raised is sent into Unicef. At the display you will also be able to pick up Unicef boxes and materials if you and your kids are interested in doing your own trick or treating for Unicef.

To enter the contest all you have to do is bring your pumpkin down to the square that day, fill out a quick form including the category you are entering, and pick up a number. Your pumpkin is placed on display with an identification number and is ready for voting. You will be responsible for picking up your pumpkin by 6:15 that evening.

Please keep your entries family friendly. We reserve the right to reject any pumpkin whose design might be considered offensive.

If you have any questions I haven't covered please feel free to call me at 325.436.1775

Thanks!
