Pumpkin Carving Contest

Fall has officially started and you know what that means! It's time for the 20th Annual Martins Pond Children's Haunted Playground!

The Martin’s Pond Association needs carved pumpkin for the Annual Children’s Haunted Playground to be held on Saturday Oct. 18th from 5:30 - 9pm! There will be awards given out for best carvings for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place (really nice trophies!). The event will be judged right before the haunted playground gets started by Pumpkin Pete himself! Then on Sunday, you can pick up your pumpkin anytime before Noon at the park and proudly display it in front of your haunt...I mean home.

Thanks to the fantastic response we have received, all MPA supplied pumpkins have been spoken for.  Please supply your own pumpkin.

To sign up or ask questions, contact Pumpkin Pete at peterbrayton@verizon.net.
