The ACWL-Nuveen is once again teaming up with Greenridge Realty to host the Carved Pumpkin Contest at Pumpkinfest, an annual community event hosted by the White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce and Visitor’s Bureau.
Participation in the Carved Pumpkin Contest is easy and free! Simply drop off your already carved pumpkin at the table outside Greenridge Realty’s Montague office between 10:00 and 10:30am on Saturday, October 11. The only requirements are that the pumpkin must already be carved and that the design must be original – no stencil designs, please! We will be collecting votes from Pumpkinfest attendees through 12:30pm. Award winners will be announced at 1:00pm!
Pumpkins will be placed into either the youth or adult (16+) category, with a People’s Choice and Runner Up Award presented in each category. Prizes are as follows!
- People’s Choice Adult (16+) Winner – Two passes to Double JJ Waterpark
- Adult Runner Up – Lake Michigan Credit Union gift basket
- Adult Honorable Mention – $20 Gnarly Heifer gift card
- People’s Choice Youth Winner – Two passes to Double JJ Waterpark
