Fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, uncles, and other positive male role models are especially encouraged to take part with the children in their lives, while all families are welcome to participate.

⏳ Pumpkins and decorating supplies may be picked up at the Hart County Public Library through October 13, or while supplies last.

📷 Once your pumpkin is decorated, we would love to see it! Participants are encouraged to send us a photo of their finished pumpkin or a picture of the family creating it together. Sharing option include emailing [email protected], or texting (270)473-1776, or facebook.com/HartCountyPublicLibrary.
