Bring a pumpkin and wear paint-able clothes to the Crestview Community Center on Tuesday, Oct. 28 because we’re painting pumpkins!
Residents age 4 and up can register before the event at the Crestview Public Library’s front desk. Doors open at 6:15 p.m. No-shows will be given to walk-ins at 6:30 p.m.
When you visit the pumpkin patch beforehand, keep in mind that the pumpkin you pick will be wet with paint when you leave. We recommend a small pie pumpkin because they are cost-effective and easier to handle, especially when wet. You may want to bring a box to help transport it home.
We’ll spray the pumpkin with acrylic spray to help the paint stay on top of the pumpkin instead of soaking in. While you’re waiting about 15 minutes for the acrylic spray to dry, pick out your paint palette, and then you may begin painting! We'll finish by 7:15 p.m.
Thank you to our Friends of the Library for providing funds for the paint! Please call 682-4432 with questions.
