The Flying Saucer in Fort Worth has begun holding an annual pumpkin carving contest. This is a great event that benefits the local Tarrant Area Food Bank. For a $10 donation, each participant receives a pumpkin, pumpkin carving kit and a free beer from a local brewery (this year being Martin House brewery). Even better, this was a perfect family friendly event with face painting for the kids. (In all seriousness, you should see the talent these ladies had with face painting. It was unreal.)
There were also prizes for the best pumpkins. 1st place $100, 2nd $50 and 3rd received $25.
All in all it seemed to be a very successful event from looking at the updates on Facebook this evening! Look at all those fantastic pumpkins! (And the Texas one looks great!)
I love the pumpkins! Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada. 🙂
Me too! I’m so excited that you visited! I have family in Montreal!
Cool pumpkins – I like yours!
