It was pumpkin everything at the Dwight library‘s first Community Pumpkin Fest, held Saturday, October 21.
Activities included Hallowe’en-themed face painting, pumpkin carving, Hallowe’en arts and crafts, an erupting pumpkin station, and a contest for the best pumpkin pie.
The pumpkin pie judges, Megan Tapley, Dan Russell, Lake of Bays Deputy Mayor Nancy Tapley, and Alex Greven had the difficult job of choosing the best pie based on a number of criteria. Before announcing the winners, Nancy Tapley worried that she would lose votes in the next municipal election. “We don’t have to justify our decision, do we?” she asked. “It was very close.”
