Thanks to everyone who joined us on Saturday. We had a great time carving pumpkins with you! Plot twist: most of our carvers were adults. But hey, grown-ups enjoy getting creative and messy, too.

Now we need your help choosing the winners! Check out the pumpkins entered into our contest and vote for your favorites by Friday, October 23, at 5 PM. There's a prize for each age group, and winners will be announced that Friday night.
