Pumpkin Decorating Workshop

While your cookery dishes are being judged we will have a Pumpkin Decorating Workshop and other fun activities. We will not carve the pumpkins - you will paint them! There will be a $1:00 fee per 4-H'er for the workshop to cover the cost of the painting supplies. 4-H'ers are to bring a small pumpkin to decorate. This fun activity will take place outside in the parking lot as long as the weather cooperates. Should it rain, the workshop will be held in the Sheriff's Office meeting room. This workshop is strictly for cookery contest participants!

In addition to this workshop we will have a hands-on demonstration by Michael Mancuso, our parish Science, Engineering, and Technology (SET) State Board Member.
