All this week we are encouraging all you ReSourceful Urbanites (and not so ReSourceful Urbanites…yet) to come by the ReSOURCE and drop off your best carving of a pumpkin. We will display them in the store all week leading up to our Saturday spectacle which will feature the Festival of Pumpkins.

Voting of the carved pumpkins will take place Saturday during the Festival of Pumpkins.. isn’t it ironic?  The winner of the contest will win either a hooded Buffalo ReUse sweatshirt or one of our Rain Barrels.  Winner decides what they get to walk away with after they are exhausted from an afternoon of fun with Buffalo ReUse.

As for the Festival of Pumpkins… This is a fun family event that is held in one of our many gardens.  It will start at 12pm and run till 3pm.  The festival will be held at our patchwork gardens which can be found at 320 Northampton, a couple lots down from the ReSOURCE.

Come out and enjoy a nice fall day this Saturday, the weather is suppose to be in the 50′s and sunny!

Some of the activities that will be happening are painting and carving of pumpkins and gourds, as well as fun games and contests such as guessing how many seeds are within a pumpkin… the winner will get a prize.  Guests are encouraged to come in costume!
