Pumpkin carved with the 4-H CloverGreat Pumpkin Day- October 23rd

Kent County 4-H will hold this popular event at New Castle Building at the Delaware State Fairgrounds in Harrington, DE. There will be decorated pumpkins, decorated wreaths, a costume contest, games, activities led by Kent County Junior Council members, refreshments, and so much more!

Please bring your entries beginning at 1:45 pm; entries must be in place by 2:00 pm; judging begins promptly at 2:00 pm. Light refreshments will be provided by the Kent County Leaders. Great Pumpkin Day is open to everyone in 4-H. After the contest, it would be a great community service project for clubs to place their pumpkins around the community. We need to share 4-H with our community.
