Carved Pumpkin Display

Grafton County 4-H is hosting a Carved Pumpkin Display in front of the Grafton County Farm Stand, across from the Nursing Home. We invite 4-H members, their families, friends, and nursing home residents to provide carved pumpkins* to illuminate and display as part of our National 4-H Week celebration. (Parents/guardians are encouraged to participate!)

We look forward to receiving pumpkins carved with a variety of themes, from traditional Halloween designs to 4-H-themed artwork, and everything in between.  We will accept carved pumpkins on Friday, October 10, 2025, anytime between 2pm and 5pm in front of the Farm Stand.  Pumpkins will be displayed and illuminated over the weekend.

Calendar:

• Wednesday, October 8 – As a courtesy, participants e-mail Donna.Lee@unh.edu with how many pumpkins they plan to bring
