Pumpkin painting part of Family Library Time in Crestview

CRESTVIEW — Bring your own pumpkin and wear paint-able clothes to the Crestview Public Library Oct. 29.

Attendees age 4 and up will paint pumpkins. Arrive between 6 and 6:30 p.m. so Boy Scouts, Webelos and Wolf Den members can wash your pumpkin in a mild bleach solution, dry it well, and seal it with acrylic spray so the paint stays on top of the pumpkin instead of soaking in.

Fifteen minutes later, you'll be able to paint it. Painting ends at 7:30.

Library staffers recommend small pie pumpkins because they are cost-effective and easy to handle, especially when wet.

 Call Heather Nitzel at 850-682-6524 for details.
