RE: Pumpkin Carving Contest

[griffsmom]

 Rather than try to wade through all the pages of the Trick-or-Treat in Temecula thread, anything having to do with the pumpkin carving contest can be posted here.
 
 Here is what I m thinking so far:
 
 [ul]
 

• BYOP.  As much as I would love to be able to provide pumpkins for everyone, we re just not that rich.  []  
• I will, however provide carving tools, but if you need something particularly fancy for your design, you may want to bring that yourself.  If you do plan on carving a pumpkin, please let me know so that I can gauge how many tools I ll need to get.
• IIRC, there was a pumpkin patch (with the usual kiddie rides) on the road from the fwy to the cg.  If you don t want to haul your pumpkin from home, we can make a field trip with the kids to the pumpkin patch Saturday morning after breakfast.
• Let s start carving around 2:00-2:30, so that slower carvers or Michelangelos will have sufficient time before the judging at 4:00p.m.
• We need judges.  Randy s already volunteered.  How about a couple more?  Maybe Moose and gsm?  Anyone? Anyone?  Bueller?
• Have any suggestions for judging categories or should we just let the judges come up with those?  What about prizes?
•  As Jacqui so kindly reminded us, don t forget your jack-o-lantern candles!

I would love to have GSM x2 and Moose judge but they aren t coming[][].
 
 I think bringing your own pumpkin is a good idea.  Lori, ya mean with that big beautiful new tow vehicle, you can t make room for 15-20 pumpkins??   When I did the carving contestfor Chris  birthday, I brought pumpkins for all the kids.  You don t realize how much room pumpkins take up till your car is filled to capacity with the normal camping stuff, kids and then try to stuff in pumpkins too.  
 
 You don t have to worry about carving tools for us, I have plenty.  I can also bring some extras along.

 I didn t say I don t have room in my car silly, it s more like there is lots of " room"  ( i.e., not much moola) in my wallet![]  Besides, didn t I tell you?  Now that we have this beautiful new car, Dave won t let Griffy and me near it with anything that could even remotely harm its pristine nature! [>:]  Pumpkins, since they re grown in dirt, would surely (shirley?) be contraband. Oh that man  o mine!!  And he calls me anal!!![][&:]

Lori, you have to rmind him it is a CAR!!!   He will not be buried in it.  Whats a little dirt.  Leather is cleanable, right?   " God made dirt, so dirt won t hurt"   I keep telling myself this everytime Matt stuffs something really gross in his mouth or sucks his thumb after doing something.

 Lori, I think Dave needs to get out more.  He is starting to frighten me.  It is a good thing he will be with us Scampers soon so we can rough him up a little.[][]
