Hey everyone, our big event is coming up. We could really use your pumpkins! We should get pretty close to our goal of 1,000 pumpkins this year. Intel is partnering with us to do a large-scale carve-a-thon on the 26th. If you work for Intel, come on down!

If you're a parent of a gradeschooler, PM me if you are interested in doing a pumpkin drive at your school. We have several participating!

Fantastic, John! should be another banner year for the spooky season! I want to see the scarecrow corral at pioneer village too. I saw that at Sams Club they have giant pumpkins for $10. Should make some nice material for carving!

One of my favorite events on Sutter St. Hope it's even more popular than last year.

John,

We'll have a couple of pumpkins but will be carving them Thursday night. When and where do we drop them off? I would guess Sutter St, but where?

See you all out there Friday night and dressed in costume.

In The Folsom Telegraph it says to drop them off between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. at Wool Street near the Chamber of Commerce.

When you drop off your carved pumpkin you can get a raffle ticket.

Cyndi - yes you can drop off pumpkins from 4-6! If you don't have time to check them in, just find a spot and drop them off.

My wife carved a few (If I did one, the cops would be called about a pumpkin massacre). She wanted to know if they will they be able to tell us where on Sutter they will end up?

It was so cool down there tonight! Tons of people on the street. Lots of very very cute kids too and hundreds of jack o'lanterns. What a great night in old town~!
