Pumpkin Carving Contest

In 2002 we got to the end of October here at Yahoo Farm, and we had some extra pumpkins that we didn't know what to do with. So we came up with the great idea of giving them away to Kindergartens in Pickens and Cherokee Counties and having a pumpkin carving contest. We haven't done it since, but the kids did such a great job decorating that we have left it up for inspiration.

The Winners of this contest were chosen in 3 categories. Click the links below to see the winners.

1st Category is Class Participation

2nd Category is Popular Vote

3rd Category is Pumpkin Man's Favorites
