Fall Festivities - Pumpkin Carving Contest!

Fall is upon us and it’s time to start thinking about events for the season. A few fun ideas and some festive decorations and you can put together a party to remember! Every year we ask our residents to decorate their patios for the holidays and we have a contest to see who is the most creative. Why not do the same thing for Halloween and have a Pumpkin carving contest? Send out a fun flier and give a deadline in which you will be walking around your Community to take pictures of their pumpkin in order to choose the best carved pumpkin. You can have a couple different categories such as  Most creative, Scariest, cutest etc. or you can have first, second and third place. Partner with the haunted houses in your area and maybe ask for free tickets or partner with the area Halloween costume stores and purchase gift cards from them for the prizes! Purchase DVD’s of scary movies or purchase gift cards to the local theaters. You can also have an adult contest and a separate children’s contest  with pumpkin pales for collecting candy filled with Halloween coloring books, crayons and other small toys as prizes. Try and partner with the area businesses to make the party a hit. You would be amazed at the business owners who want to be included in your events and would be happy to donate raffle prizes  especially the businesses that are seasonal. Be creative and most of all have fun!.
