Saturday, October 25 at Fountain Creek Nature Center (320 Pepper Grass Lane, Fountain, CO)
PUMPKIN CARVING PARTY
Pumpkin Carving times begin every thirty minutes starting at 9:00 a.m. and ending at 1:00 p.m. Reservations are not required, but highly recommended as we may run out of pumpkins!
Help us light up the evening Jack-o-Lantern Trail event by carving a pumpkin! You’ll receive a pumpkin, carving tools and designs. For each pumpkin you carve, you’ll receive a ticket to attend the evening event for FREE to see your Jack-o-Lantern light the way. You may retrieve your pumpkin starting at 7:30 p.m. Any Jack-o-Lanterns left along the trail after 8:00 p.m. will be disposed of.
Each pumpkin is $5 and funds raised support the Friends of El Paso County Nature Centers. This event is sponsored by Milberger Farms in Pueblo and Colorado Springs Utilities!

This family-friendly activity is a fall favorite for many and supports the Friends of El Paso County Nature Centers! Costumes are encouraged!
