Painted Pumpkin Contest & Crafts for Kids

Drop by the Community Room to paint and decorate pumpkins inspired by your favorite book and/or book characters. 30 pumpkins will be provided on a first come first served basis; one per family. You may also provide your own pumpkin to be entered into the contest. One pumpkin per child or teen please. No carved pumpkins will be accepted. Halloween crafts will also be available to make. Following the program, decorated pumpkins will be displayed in Youth Services on the Park Level for patrons to vote on their favorite in each of three categories: Preschool, Elementary, and Teen. Voting will take place Tuesday October 6 through Sunday October 25. Prizes will be awarded on October 26 for the pumpkin that receives the most votes in each category. All pumpkins must be picked up by 9:00 PM on Thursday October 29.
