Second Annual Pumpkin Festival !!!

On October 3, 2009 the Cabot PTSO will be hosting their 2nd Annual Pumpkin Festival on the Common. We have added some new activities and vendors. In addition to the pumpkin carving contest we will be doing our 1st Pumpkin Pie Contest. Please start searching for a special recipe to enter.

The activities we have planned this year are games for the kids, 2 raffle items, bake sale, hot food, and cider and vendor tables. You can bring your own pumpkin this year for the carving contest or you can purchase one at the event for $5. Please bring your carving tools. However, if you forget them, there will be some available for sale.

The proceeds from this event go to the Cabot School PTSO. We use these funds to financially help support students with field trips, special trainings, upgrading the Cabot school playground and the annual scholarship.

Our vendors will consist of: Cabot Creamery, Up in Smoke, Cold Hollow Cider, Cabot Smith Farm and our own Cabot Cub Scouts. Free wagon rides all through the event.

We have a great team that helps pull this event together and we are very excited sponsor this event in the community. If you are interested in lending a hand, donating baked goods or have any questions please feel free to contact us.
