Halloween Pumpkin
Festival Day Saturday 27 October 2012 Clonakilty
The Ashe St Retailers held a meeting on
Tuesday 2nd October to discuss this year Pumpkin Painting festival
for Halloween.
It
was agreed that as in the previous 3 years we would organize a celebration of
Halloween with the Pumpkin painting competition for the children and face
painting in Astna Square, along with meeting Mr. Pumpkin which has proved so
popular in previous years. This will be held on Saturday 27 October.
The focal point of the afternoon will
be the display and judging of the Painted Pumpkins which should be brought to
the Halloween-decorated Astna Square between 2-4pm. The face painting will also
be held in Astna Square. Mr. Pumpkin will be on hand to chat to the children
throughout the town and hand out lollipops to them.
An advert for this event has been
placed in the West Cork People, and flyers & posters have been printed and are being distributed to
all the local schools.
