Carve the Perfect Pumpkin at Rolling Meadows Park District

Tuesday, September 24, 2024

 Make the “cut” at Rolling Meadows Park District’s Family Pumpkin Carving!

Sponsored by Orthodontic Experts, Family Pumpkin Carving is set for 6-7:30pm Wednesday, October 9 at the Community Center. Pumpkins, carving supplies, designs and decorations will be provided.

 “This is a great way to start the Halloween season,” said Sydney Szukala, Recreation Supervisor for Special Events & Community Engagement. “We’ll take care of the mess while you carve pumpkins, listen to Halloween music and enjoy a snack.”

In addition to various jack-o-lantern design options, paint, glitter, pom poms and other craft items will be available to give each pumpkin a unique look.

“We’re thrilled to see families unleash their creativity and personalize each pumpkin,” Szukala said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for parents and kids to bond, enjoy a fun evening together and create lasting fall memories.”

Event cost is $9 per participant for residents and $11 per participant for non-residents. Each participant attending the event must register and each registrant will receive one pumpkin to carve and decorate.
