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.)
My masterpiece. I like to call it Vermont in the heart of Texas.
There were also prizes for the best pumpkins. 1st place $100, 2nd $50 and 3rd received $25.
Ah! How cute!!
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. 🙂
