Washington library concludes Halloween pumpkin contest
The Washington Public Library's pumpkin contest wrapped up on Monday with two winners.
The annual Festival of Pumpkins gives kids and adults the opportunity to decorate a pumpkin. The only requirement is that it has to be inspired by a book.
Although they normally have around 25 contestants, Library Director Bryna Walker said they thought the 12 this year was a great number, considering the COVID-19 pandemic.
An adult and a child winner were announced Monday.
The two will receive a library theme backpack with books.
