Our annual pumpkin decorating contest is back! Decorate a pumpkin or gourd as your favorite book character. Pumpkins may be painted, dressed, or accessorized, but not carved. Please note that pumpkins that have holes in them go bad really fast, so painting and accessorizing works best for this contest.  Categories: Family/Classroom and Independent Child  and Adult categories. Independent child entries will be divided into age categories (4-7, 8-12, & 13-18) with prizes awarded to top 3 in each category. The public will vote for winners in all categories October 24-30, with winners announced on Oct 31st! Prizes to the top 3 in each category.

Start your search for the great pumpkin early this year with the residents of Newton Village during the Newton Village Pre-Halloween Celebration on Monday, October 30, from 3:30-4:30 p.m. Fill up your candy bag along the Trick or Treat trail and check out the pumpkin carving and decorating contest. For more information or to make a candy donation, please call Newton Village at 641-787-6014.

This year Beggars' Night falls on Monday, October 30. Be safe and have fun as you trick-or-treat through Newton's neighborhoods from 6 - 8 p.m.!
