Halloween Pumpkin Carving Contest!!
It occurs to me that Halloween is the perfect time to highlight our Homesteaders Community, because...
PUMPKINS!
It's all well and good to preserve your produce for later use, but who can resist having a little fun with one or two or ten for this particular holiday. Besides, you can feed the remains to the livestock afterwards, right? Since Halloween is this coming Tuesday, I'm going to keep this contest simple.
Rules:
Carve a pumpkin or other squash any way you wish. (Try to keep it clean for the kiddies, please. Thanks!)
Proof it's your creation by the addition of an identifying card showing your Steemit Name, Steemit Logo, Date of the Photo, and the Hashtag #HomesteadersHalloween.
Limit 2 entries. Use separate comments for each entry.
Post the picture in the comments below. Most votes wins! You can do a separate post, but only those in the comments will be counted.
Upvote this post for the Prize Pool. Whoever gets the most votes on their entry in the comments at the time of payout gets the SBD! (Optional: Resteem to increase visibility, participation, general fun, and of course, the Prize Pool.)
Bonus - If the winner shows proof the squash of choice was obtained from their garden OR a farm stand and I'll throw in 5 Steem for supporting local growers.
That's it! Have at it and may the best gourd win!
Upvote, ReSteem, 
THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
These 2 best friends had a great time, watching the "Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown"

Oooh... lots of messy fun! Great choice on the movie, too. Very appropriate!
Thanks for the entry and best of luck in the contest!
Back checking on things here for the Pumpkin post!
Oh Gee I got so busy, my son coming home from University this weekend, so lots of MOM'S home cooking. LOL Banana Bread, Lasagna, just me being a mom, but forgot all about the contest, thanks for the reminder.
Well, I can take leftovers if he is driving by me in the Oshawa area back to school LOL
This is from my daughter @jadabug She took this on approximately 10/27 and it was to announce her first baby...ain't it so sweet says grandma to be. #homesteadershalloween
Happy Day!

Love it, our daughter's can be so creative.
Very clever and sweet!
she is a treasure! ty
Agh. I did the photo shoot with out my name and date on it. I can't do it again because I turned it into pumpkin soup. Good luck to all entrants.
OMG I love Pumpkin Soup, so creamy. I got a recipe from The Ritz Carleton Hotel. I just email them and asked them for the recipe and they sent it to me. GO figure. Like @aunt-deb said below you still have lots of time to carve another one.
I might have too. I do want more soup, it was fantastic.
The contest ends when this post pays out, just fyi. There's time to do a second one, if you'd like...
I am back here checking on one of your 2 posts for your contest, to see the progress and entries and see how it is going Eddie.

unfortunately we don't have pumpkins around here, but I'll upvote to be a part of the fun.🎃

Bummer on the lack of pumpkins, though. Hopefully, we'll get a collection here for you to enjoy...
