Book-o-Ween Storybook Pumpkin Decorating Contest - 4th Annual!

Families are invited to decorate a pumpkin (real or artificial) inspired by their favorite children’s storybook character or scene. Paint it, dress it, bedazzle it — just no carving!

 

Bring your literary creation to life and drop it off at the library by October 22. Pumpkins will be displayed for all to enjoy, and winners will be chosen by community vote!

Stop by the library for full contest rules and entry details.
Voting runs from October 23-30, 2025.
