Program Description

Event Details

Decorate a pumpkin for our 5th Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest! 

  • Pumpkins must be picked up from and returned to the Hancock Veterans Memorial Branch Library in Hancock.
  • Completed pumpkins must be returned to the library no later than October 24, but the sooner you return it, the more votes you can get!
  • DO NOT register unless you plan to participate. If you choose later not to participate, we ask that you return your undecorated pumpkin so someone else can use it.
  • Winners will be chosen by popular vote from our library patrons.
  • There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies in age groups 5-11, 12-17, and 18 to adult.
  • Patrons can submit ONE VOTE per category per day.
  • Each participant will be provided with a 5" foam pumpkin to decorate in any way they want (must be "family friendly.")
  • The decorated pumpkin "sculpture" can be as tall as you want, but no more than 7" wide.
  • The decorated pumpkin must be the work of the registered participant. MINIMAL help is allowed for our participants under age 8.
  • Winners will be announced on October 31.
