   Jack O Lantern Jamboree pumpkin carving, Saturday October 17 at 2:00 PM, at the Recreation Center at Rob Fleming Park, 6464 Creekside Forest Drive. Supplies provided, 20 dollars a pumpkin, and you leave the mess there and take the pumpkin home. https://www.forwardtimes.com/local-events/?_evDiscoveryPath=/event/44071608a-jack-o-lantern-jamboree-pumpkin-carving Twenty dollars to not have pumpkin guts in my kitchen... that is not a bad trade.

   Retired. Walking the paths since the paths were dirt.

   Twenty dollars per pumpkin, and a pumpkin is a few dollars at any grocery store, so you are paying roughly fifteen for supplies, a table and cleanup. For one kid that is steep. For three it is cheaper than the afternoon you would otherwise spend. Run your own numbers.

   Mike you are describing my exact Saturday afternoon math, and for three kids I am buying the clean kitchen every time. Note this is 2 PM the same day as the Wildflower Festival at 10 AM in the same park, so you could genuinely do both if the kids hold up.

   Wait, the festival is at 6055 Creekside Forest and this is at 6464 Creekside Forest. Are those the same place or am I about to drive to the wrong one again? Sorry, still learning.

   New here, be nice

   Different addresses, and the carving one specifically says the Recreation Center. Put 6464 in your phone for the 2 PM and stop trying to reason it out from the street name.

   This has been covered. Twice.
