2011 Painted Pumpkin and Jack-o-Lantern Contest!

One of my favorite fall activities is pumpkin picking (have you seen our guide of where to go?); being in the field, searching for one that is not too tall, not too short, not too skinny or fat, but just right.  Why is my search so specific?  Because you need the perfect pumpkin to make…the perfect PAINTED PUMPKIN or JACK-O-LANTERN!

I am happy to announce the 2011 Boulder Creek Steakhouse and Nassau Happening online Jack-o-Lantern/Pumpkin Painting photo contest!! The contest will run from October 3 through October 31, 2011.
