<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> Hello,</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">I know that I am waaaaaay ahead of the curve month-wise, but has anyone out there done a pumpkin decorating contest for the month of October....I'm sure you have! </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">I'd like to hold one here at our library and I'd appreciate any wisdom you have to offer. What kind of rules did you set? Were pumpkins painted or carved or both? Did you have separate categories for painted vs. carved? What kind of prizes did you offer? Did you have judges for your contest or did you let the participants vote (they could vote for any pumpkin except theirs)?<VAR id=yui-ie-cursor></VAR></DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">TIA!<BR></DIV>
