At the beginning of the day…

Hard at work…

Her bow matches her pumpkin!

Creating his masterpiece…

They were all winners, but here are the official ones…

The day started out chilly and clear, then turned into one of those beautiful fall days..it was  lovely to be outdoors enjoying a festive and fun atmosphere, with folks stopping by to get plants, spotting our pumpkin carving and painting tables, and coming back with their kids to join in the fun.

Older kids and some adults carved, while the smallest decorated their pumpkins with paint, glitter, feathers, and other fun things – such imaginations!  Soon word spread that not only was there a bouncy house for the little ones but Delmar Hill was grilling corn too…and more folks stopped by to oooh and aaah over the finished pumpkins lined up for judging.

The parking lot may sparkle from all the glitter for quite a  while…

We’ll be adding another post with pictures  taken by our friend, Steve Schnell. He took a lot, so sorting them out is going to take some time – stay tuned!
