Pumpkin pick-up will begin at 10:00 a.m. at Shelter #5. We will have a limited supply of pumpkins available for everyone; however, you are certainly welcome to bring your own. Pumpkins can be carved at your campsite or you may use the tools available and carve at the shelter. Be sure to register for the contest when you pick up your pumpkin or drop by the shelter to register if you are providing your own. All pumpkins should be back at the shelter at 4:00 p.m. for pre-judging. The park will provide candles and will have your creations glowing at 7:00 p.m. for final judging. First, second, and third prizes will be awarded. Entries will be judged on originality, authenticity, and execution.
