The 25th Bridgehampton Lions Carving Contest will be held  at the Bridgehampton Community House on  Monday, October 30th starting @5pm. If you’re not coming for the puppet show then definitely get there well before it’s dark. If your not familiar with the event, there’s no actual carving going on at the event, you have to spend the weekend doing that at home.

Host a carving party the weekend before – bring more entries! Stat tuned for details on a new prize given for the best images of your carving party…

The poster featuring this years themes will be posted here by end of this week. Posters will be on the street next week.

We changed things a little last year, here’s a reminder – 12 and under freestyle is now 13 and under. We removed the all ages freestyle category and will award 3 prizes for Master Blade. Any entry qualifies for the Master Blade 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place awards – If you, enter in any of the themed categories, enter in the 13 and under freestyle, or set up on the event grounds but outside of a category, you will be considered for the Master Blade prizes.

Remember, it’s FREE to enter and FREE to see but you can’t win unless you bring a carved pumpkin or squash-like life form. Also, many tend to forget about the categories… if you carve to fit a category you will be way more likely to win… pick your favorite or if you can’t decide carve 3, you can enter in up to 3 categories! Sometimes a category has just a few entries so there may be a guaranteed win in your future if you make the effort.
