PUMPKIN CARVER INFORMATION
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST in being an Amazing Pumpkin Carver!
Since safety is our first concern – for our carvers, our visitors and our staff – this year’s event will be held as a beautifully illuminated drive-thru once again this year. Visitors will view your awesome creations from the safety and comfort of their cars.
Important information:
- Carving day is Wednesday, October 6, 2021.
- Each carver will be provided with a giant pumpkin positioned on haybales, a 10×10 tent, and electricity as in previous years. Carvers may arrive at 9:30am and may come and go all day.
- Tent areas must be cleaned up by 6pm.
- Last minute tweaking to adjust for evening lighting must be completed by 6:45pm since cars will begin entering at 7pm.
- Each carver or carving team will receive a $150 honorarium.
- Carvers must be at least 12 years of age. Any carver between the ages of 12 and 18 must be on a team with a parent or guardian. Due to social distancing, the maximum team size is two carvers. No other visitors will be permitted on-site during carving day.
- Masks will be required when walking outside of your tent. If you carve as a team, it is your responsibility to select a partner from your social safety circle or be sure to quarantine prior to working together in close proximity.
- The Carve will be open to the public during evening hours and viewed from 10 feet away; so ILLUMINATION and lighting is more important than ever!
