The Sunrise Kiwanis are looking for youth groups and individuals who want to try their hand at creating scarecrows for this year’s Manteca Pumpkin fair, Oct. 2-3, in downtown Manteca.
Or perhaps your forte is doing creative things with pumpkins whether it is carving scary or silly faces or creating anything edible with the orange fruit.
The deadline to enter the scrarecrow, pumpkin carving and baking/cooking contests is Thursday, Sept. 30, at 5 p.m.
No carving can take place at the Pumpkin Fair. Pre-carved pumpkins must be taken to the Country Corner in Library Park by 12:45 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2. Judging will take place at 1 p.m. The categories are silliest, scariest, and original. Prizes will be awarded.
Completed desserts in the categories of pies, cookies, cakes, and “other delectable delights” must be turned in by 1:45 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2, at Library Park.
If you provide a recipe it will be included in a future Pumpkin Fair recipe book.
There are no entry fees.
