BYC's 2024 Spooktacular Halloween Hatch-Along
Pumpkin Carving Contest
Ends on November 2nd, 2024
It's not officially Halloween until you have a collection of carved pumpkins, arranged ever so perfectly on your front porch. Pumpkin carving is a fun family activity to get into the Halloween spirit and a great way to express your creativity, regardless of your age. We'd love to see your artistic creations entered for a chance to win a prize. Whether you're a master carver or a beginner, come around and show us your pumpkin carving abilities, and you could WIN an AWESOME prize!
If entries warrant there will be two categories, one for poultry-themed carvings and one for traditional carvings, and there will be prizes for both.
Prizes - At least three 3-month PFMs
