🎃📚 Storybook Pumpkin Decorating Contest! 📚🎃
Pumpkins + Books = Fall Fun!
Fall is here, and pumpkins are everywhere—so let’s bring the pumpkin harvest into our library! We invite families to take part in our Storybook Pumpkin Decorating Contest. Your child will be bringing detailed information home before we dismiss for Fall Break, and a short overview is detailed below.
🍁 How to Join 🍁
1️⃣ Choose a book and read it together as a family.
2️⃣ Pick one character and recreate it on a small, pie-sized pumpkin (artificial pumpkins encouraged).
3️⃣ Decorate with paint, fabric, and creativity—but please no carving or cutting.
4️⃣ One pumpkin per family, please!
📅 Bring your pumpkin, your book, and your entry form to the library Oct. 22–24.
💰 Voting with coins will take place Oct. 27–30, and winners will be announced Nov. 3!
All proceeds benefit the Garvin County chapter of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
