Pahrump Community Library Youth Services has opened the 2025 Pumpkin Decorating Contest for submissions now through October 24th. Youth aged 4 to 15 are invited to be creative and show off their pumpkin-decorating skills. Design a pumpkin inspired by a favorite book character. No carving is allowed, because uncarved decorated pumpkins last such a nice, long time. Purchase your own pumpkin of any color, size, and texture. Painted and decorated pumpkins will be on display now and throughout the month. Voting by all library patrons will be solicited from October 27 through the 30th. Pumpkin art in each age group (4-8, 9-12, 13-15) will receive a first, second, and third-place ribbon.
