Mini Pumpkin Decorating Contest

September 3 - October 7

🟢EVERYONE (All Ages)

Get ready to unleash your creativity in our Mini Pumpkin Decorating Contest! Starting September 3, patrons can pick up a plastic pumpkin to decorate. Whether you prefer acrylic, tempera, watercolor, glue-on paper, or buttons, you can use any medium that sparks your imagination—but remember, you must use our provided pumpkins in your creation.

How to Participate:

  • Registration: Register when you pick up your pumpkin at the library.
  • Decoration: Use your creative skills to decorate your pumpkin. Make sure to include part or all of the provided pumpkin in your design.
  • Return: Return your decorated pumpkin by October 7. Your pumpkin will be assigned a number that will be marked on the bottom of your pumpkin.

Voting and Prizes:

  • Pumpkin Display: All pumpkins will be displayed in the library and posted on our website and Facebook for public voting starting October 14.
  • Voting Deadline: Voting will end on October 25.
  • Age Categories: We will have two age categories—13 and under, and 14 and over.
  • Prizes: Winners in each category will receive a gift certificate.

Pumpkin Pick-Up:

  • Pumpkin pick-up will begin on October 31. All pumpkins must be picked up by November 14.
  • Any unclaimed pumpkins after November 14 will be considered donated to the library and may be sold, donated, or disposed of.

Join us for this festive contest and show us your pumpkin-decorating talents!
