For a $10 entry fee, each participant will receive a pumpkin, paints, and brushes to create their own unique fall masterpiece. Choose your design, pick your colors, and let your creativity take over!
Participants can spend as much time as they need working on their pumpkin during the contest hours. Whether you have a spooky idea in mind, want to create a classic fall design, or would rather come up with something completely original, there are no limits to what you can create.
The contest will take place inside our Fall Funhouse; a festive fall space made with straw bales stacked to create a fun tunnel-like setting. It’s the perfect place to get creative, enjoy the fall atmosphere, and make your own pumpkin masterpiece.
Once your pumpkin is finished, it will be entered into the contest within your age group. Kids and adults will be judged separately, giving participants of all ages the opportunity to compete in their own category.
No artistic experience is necessary—just bring your imagination and have fun!
