Carve a Pumpkin

Description

Help us prepare for our annual Halloween Prowl by carving pumpkins into festive Jack-O-Lanterns! We'll provide plenty of pumpkins and design inspiration, but we need your carving expertise to bring them to life. Carvers of all skill levels are welcome!

This is an excellent opportunity for scout troops, youth groups, and other organizations looking for a fun community service project. Drop by any time after 2 pm to lend a hand and help us get ahead on this seasonal tradition.

Special thanks to Ward's Berry Farm for generously donating the pumpkins!
