Drumroll!!!

Well another great year is behind us and this year had a lot of wonderful talent displayed! Thank you to all of the participants, kids and adults alike! I'm happy to report that almost all of the pumpkins spoke to one judge or another, that is the beauty of the competition, anyone can win. However this year brings the trophy back to a familiar place. The Taylor household! Pumpkin Number 2, "Gah!" by Mark Taylor spoke most loudly to the judges and was selected as the winner! Second place goes to Sarah Olinski with pumpkin number 9, nice alternative pumpkin! And finally third place to another pumpkin substitute, and rookie carver, Kelly Carswell with pumpkin number 1 'Cyril Sneer'.  Well done everyone! Ribbons for all the kids to come! Until next year,  Sarah and Leanne  

Welcome Children, Welcome
