The Pumpkin Festival incorporates 3 competitions, with each contest divided by age groups.
ALL COMPETITIONS ARE DIVIDED INTO 3 AGE CATEGORIES:
7 AND UNDER 8 – 15 16 – ADULT
PUMPKIN DECORATING WITH WHEELS: Decorate your squash in any way you desire and then put wheels on it so it rolls. Wheels may be made out of any material, including vegetables, but the pumpkin should be able to move on the wheels; it must be able to roll down the market track. Prizes are given for decorations and market bucks are given for race winners.
PUMPKIN CARVING: Carve a pumpkin of any size. You can bring a pumpkin you carved from home or carve one at the market!
COSTUME COMPETITION! Make a clever costume. No commercial kits, please, though various components of pre-made costumes may be used. Your costume should be wholly unique.
HOW TO ENTER: Simply register for any or all competitions on the day of the market. Registration begins at 8:30am and ends at 10:30am. (see specific competition cut-off times below).
HOW ENTRANTS ARE JUDGED: YOU do the judging. Each entrant will have a cup to deposit a penny into next to their pumpkin. You pick your fave and put the penny in their cup. The costume contest will be similar…Come to the event to find out how to vote for your favorites.
