So my pumpkin was not big enough to put Mountain Dollar so this is the best we could do.

It is a bat I know it is a bit lame but it is hard to take a picture in the dark with my phone will try with the camera after the batteries re-charge and see if it is better.

Not bad for a couple of old farts with no kids hope we start seeing something better than this.

Don't forget you can pick up pumpkins at your local Moore Lumber and Ace Hardware store, or stop by The Learning Center in Kittredge!



This probably won't win you the contest, but if you hadn't heard about this, it's a great idea!

Why teal pumpkins could mean a safer Halloween
By Sarah Spigelman Richter
Oct 02, 2015

If your kid has food allergies that make trick-or-treating impossible, Halloween is anything but happy.

Those little fun-sized candy bars often don't list allergies or ingredients on the wrappers. It's no fun for parents or kids who feel left out of the fun.

But this Halloween, the winds of change are in the air.

I had a meeting in Evergreen so on my way home I stopped in at The Learning Center's Pumpkin Patch to pick mine up - they've got a lot of great looking pumpkins (not the icky ones you see at the grocery store) & they're reasonably priced too!



Also happened upon a herd of beasts who stopped to take pictures of these beautiful girls. :P

Looks like you don't have to dig through the bins at the grocery store either. If you are wanting a big pumpkin half of it is making sure that you can actually pick it up

I am sure they have many people there to help get it into you car!!!

Actually, they did carry my pumpkin to my car for me (I also bought two little ones for the kids so my hands were full). Very helpful, friendly service!

Here are just some of the prizes that you can win by entering your decorated pumpkin, be it painted, covered in bling, or carved - all you have to do is take a picture of it in front of your computer with My Mountain Town's Home Page showing! First place is a Hautman Wildlife Home Accent, second place is a Hautman Wildlife oil or vinegar dispenser.

Tell your friends and family, the more entries the better the competition! Don't forget the deadline is noon this Friday, then we start a poll for voting. Good luck and happy decorating!
