Pumpkin Carving Contest

October 23, 2015 by Deirdre McAndrew

Pumpkin Carving Contest

Pumpkin Carving Contest. Halloween is almost here! Come kick off the week with this free first annual community event brought to us by The Friends of Washington Market Park.

The contest will be broken down into scariest, funniest, and most creative. Winners will receive prize ribbons. Bring your own pumpkin and enter the contest or stop by to enjoy the display. All are welcome to enter including residents, stores, restaurants, and schools. 

If you would like to be apart of the contest bring your completely carved pumpkin to Washington Market Park between 5p and 6p. You cannot carve at the actual event. Electronic candles will be provided to light pumpkins. Judging starts at 6p and winners will be announced shortly after.

Participants are allowed to bring pumpkins home or can leave them to be decoration for the Halloween party and parade the following day. If you choose to display your pumpkin, claim it by Sunday at 3p.

The Friends of Washington Market Park always schedule events with the support of the Department of Parks & Recreation and contributions from neighborhood residents. Keep an eye out for more later this fall.

Date: Saturday, October 24th [Read more…] about Pumpkin Carving Contest

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
