On Oct. 29, the Bristol Public Library in Bristol, Conn., will host the first ever Pumpkin Festival, show casing grinning, menacing and other creatively carved pumpkins.
“The Pumpkin Festival is something we hope will become an annual event,” Jessica Dumont, library board member, told park officials earlier this month.
Pumpkins decorated and carved by locals will be judged and prizes will be won. “It’s going to be something different,” said Francine Petosa, Library Director. The event should fit in with other community events planned for the Fall, including the Mum Festival, Arts in the Park and the Downtown Auto Show. “We’re going to have a lot of fun.”
