Prior to the contest, participants may pick up their free pumpkin to take home, carve and decorate. They can then bring back their pumpkin for judging on the day of the contest. In addition, participants may enter the Carvin’ in a Crunch contest in which carving must be completed on the day of the event within a specified time limit.
Prizes will be awarded to the runner-up and winner for the following categories: Scariest Creation, Funniest Face, Most Montana, Cutest Carving, Best in Show and Carvin’ in a Crunch (same day carving contest).
