Deadline for pumpkin decorating entrants today

Today is the final day to sign up for the UNMC Fall Fest pumpkin decorating contest.

Fall Fest will be held Oct. 30 this year. The carving event, open to UNMC departments, colleges, and student groups, as well as individuals, will close sign-ups after today. Groups signing up will receive an official “contest pumpkin” to decorate on Oct. 20. Contest entries must be brought to the Ruth and Bill Scott Student Plaza by 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 30 to be submitted for judging.

There will be a judges’ winner and a “people’s choice” winner in the pumpkin contest. The creators of the winning gourd will receive a Hy-Vee gift card for breakfast or lunch up to $50.
