Over 20 people joined in on the fun of the first ever Pumpkin Carving contest hosted by the Student Government Association Thursday in the Quad. The winner, Shelby James, received a $100 gift card to Wal-Mart. For placing 2nd Heather Nguyen received a $50 to Wal-Mart.
There were some criteria that the judges were looking for, but overall they were looking for artistic ability.
“Just the general artistic feel of the pumpkins,” said Nathan Hall, Assistant Dean of Student Life and Leadership. “The winner was cleanly cut and very detailed.”
The participants were supplied with all the utensils and the pumpkins. Some had the pumpkins cleaned out for them.
