Girls and boys of all ages, start your pumpkins! And decorate them too!
On Saturday, October 21, 2017, from 10 am until 2 pm, the Newtown Lions Club will hold its “Great Pumpkin Race” behind Edmond Town Hall, on Main Street.
The annual event featuring pumpkin races and pumpkin decorating is always a hit with participants and spectators alike.
• Pumpkin races are held for four age groups (8 & under, 9-12, 13-17, and 18 & over). Pumpkins must have 4 wheels and 2 axles, both of which must pass through the pumpkin.
• Decorated pumpkin contests are held for the same four age groups, with prizes awarded for the scariest, funniest, and best decorated pumpkins.
There will be food, music, local entertainment, and a good time for all!
