Girls and boys of all ages, build your pumpkin racers! And decorate your pumpkins too!
On Saturday, October 20, 2018, 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!
