Punkin Chunkin in Clayton

This just in from Kristy at Hawn Memorial Library in Clayton: 

Tomorrow is the Punkin Chunkin & Kansas City Style BBQ festival in Clayton.  Each year, we hold a pumpkin carving and decorating contest at the library.  Participants sign up in advance, we supply the pumpkins, and they return them in the week leading up to the event.

I thought maybe everyone could use a smile on this somewhat gloomy Friday by getting a glimpse of some of our entries:

We'll be doing crafts starting at 10 a.m., have a costume party at noon, and announcing our pumpkin contest winners at 1 o'clock (the public can vote on their favorites) so stop by!
