Missed picking up your pumpkin and supplies? No problem! You can decorate your own pumpkin at home and still submit a picture with your submission form!
Celebrate Halloween this year with Moorhead Parks and Recreation’s Pumpkin Party Pick-Up! On Thursday, October 15, kids ages 13 and under can stop by Memorial Park from 3:00-6:00 pm, to pick up a pumpkin, paint, and other Halloween goodies (while supplies last). Take your pumpkin home and create your own monstrous masterpiece. Then dress up in your favorite costume and send us a photo of you and your pumpkin creations for a chance to win some ghoulishly good prizes, including gift cards and, of course, candy! Submissions must be received by Halloween, October 31, and winners will be announced on November 2!
Send photo submissions to parkandrec@cityofmoorhead.com. You can download an official submission form here.
