Incredible Pumpkin Trail
The Incredible Pumpkin Trail pumpkin Decorating Contest takes place on October 10, 2009 in downtown Kennesaw. Businesses, organizations, schools and families from Kennesaw and surrounding areas are encouraged to contribute their time and talents to help create unique, colorful and playful multi-pumpkin scenes to display for public viewing during the Folk Tales by the Rails event on Saturday, October 10.
Suggestions include (but are not limited to) groups of celebrity or historical figures, animals, funny faces, Halloween characters and traditional jack-o-lanterns. Pumpkins may be carved or decorated. Scenes will be judged on originality, creativity, craftsmanship and overall presentation. Ribbons will be awarded in each category.
Decorating teams must provide all components of the scene, including pumpkins, tables, props, decorations, extension cords (if required), etc. Keep in mind that pumpkins may be exposed to various weather conditions, as well as birds, squirrels and other visitors.
