Tips & Advice
- Carve your pumpkins no more than two weeks before the event, and even closer to the date if the weather is warm, to ensure they stay fresh and bright.
- Thoroughly clean out all seeds and stringy material from your pumpkins to help prevent mold and extend their freshness.
- Since the trail will be dark and lit by internal lights, focus on carving designs rather than painting pumpkins for maximum visibility.
- If you wish to keep your carved pumpkin, plan to pick it up on Sunday after the event; any pumpkins remaining on Monday will be disposed of.
- Consider donating 10 or more pumpkins to receive signage at your display, featuring your business or name.
