Unfortunately, due to persistent rain and possible thunderstorms for the event we will hold the contest tomorrow – Tuesday, October 25th. Same time and details.
Your pumpkins should hold up an extra day if already carved and, for some, it’s more time to carve or a second chance!
Tips to preserve carvings: Wet down a clean old towel and drape it over your piece, especially over the carved areas. Keep it wet/damp until the event. Another great way to bring a pumpkin back to life is to soak it underwater for several hours. It actually gets stronger on the first soak. I have done this 2-3 times for a week until it starts to rot. Soaking over night in a big bucket or garbage bin is best. Just put some weights on or in it to keep it sumberged.
See you Tuesday evening!
