Take-Home Pumpkins

If you’d rather carve your pumpkin at home, you can pick up a pumpkin from the Winooski Senior Center during any open carving hours. Please make sure you return your pumpkin by the deadline on Friday, even if you didn’t get a chance to carve it!

Note: if you’re gutting your pumpkin at home, please carve the access hole in the bottom of the pumpkin, not the top! This is necessary for our new lighting system.
