If you would like a little help to get you thinking please remember to look at our carving gallery… https://lions.graphicimagepreview.com/images/carving_gallery/
Also, remember to follow a category, these will help you getting started too.
There is also a new site of past carvings just posted at http://www.NotYourAverageJack.com check it out!
We suggest carving over the weekend so your pumpkin is “fresh cut” looking for the judging. If you have done it sooner or want to make one carved over the weekend even sharper looking you can try a cool trick we have learned – just put it in a clean trash can of water to soak over night with a rock or brick on top to keep it submerged. You can keep it in all day or overnight, all the exposed fleshy parts of your pumpkin will soak up the water and your carving will look as good as new! This can be repeated a few times to keep it nice for Halloween too.
Be safe and have fun, see you Monday!
The mystery is over… the mystery category is “Toss Your Seeds”.
Here is a hint in case you don’t get it: pumpkins don’t have cookies.
See you on the 27th!
The contest is coming up Monday October 27th at 5:00. See poster below for all the details… don’t forget to check the new categories!
Check out our “Carving Contest” link to the left for more information.
Santa will be arriving at the Bridgehampton Library on Saturday, December 1st at 3 pm and will depart at 5 pm so he can get back to the North Pole for dinner and toy making.
The Bridgehampton Lions Club would like to thank everyone for such a successful event this year – especially the SPONSORS and CARVERS.
Every year the entries get more and more amazing, we can’t wait to see what happens next year! The Judges have such a hard time deciding on who receives the awards they wanted everyone to know that the real award goes to everyone as a whole for creating the amazing spectacle that has become our event! We built this site to communicate with the community but also to archive this spectacle for all to see. Please take a moment to browse the Carving Contest Gallery . We look forward to seeing you next year.
