COMMUNITY News:
In light of COVID-19, the Los Alamos Arts Council worked with the Los Alamos County Community Services Department to display pumpkins on Central Avenue this year instead of holding the annual “Pumpkin Glow” event.
The pumpkins were part of the seasonal scarecrow contest entries on display Friday, Oct. 30 through Sunday, Nov. 1. The carved pumpkins represent approximately 10 families.
The event included a Pumpkin Demonstration” Oct. 27 in addition to the display. Lori Dauelsberg and Lisa Lloyd demonstrated the artful, artistic carving of pumpkins for people interested in learning more about pumpkin carving. Watch video here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2781446815434983
The Los Alamos Arts Council also partnered with MainStreet and the Creative District for a “Virtual Pumpkin Carving Party” Oct. 29. Families carved pumpkins, shared ideas and tool choices and interacted with pumpkin trivia and pumpkin jokes.
