Oh My Gourd! Pumpkin Decorating Contest in Downtown Gulfport

BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin) to the Gulfport Beach Bazaar and show the world your creativity at the First Annual Spooktacular Pumpkin Decorating Contest. Carve, paint or stencil your gourd with your best work, and the next night – which just happens to be the IndieFaire maker’s market – they’ll let the public judge the spookiest, most creative and best painted/stenciled pumpkins. Bring the kiddos, too, because they have a special category for them, too. The fine folks at the Bazaar will announce the winners in each category on Sunday, and yes, they have prizes. Lite bites and soft drinks provided. No pumpkin? They’ll have a very few one — and carving sets — available. —Gabber staff
