Pick-A-Pumpkin Event Set For This Weekend In Cornelius

CORNELIUS, NC — Halloween is two weeks away, which means it's time to decorate the gourds. The Town of Cornelius is hosting two "Pick-A-Park, Pick-A-Pumpkin" events for painting and carving pumpkins this weekend.

"Bring yourself or your family to one of our beautiful parks, pick out a pumpkin, grab a carving set, and enjoy creating a Halloween masterpiece! Not into carving? No worries. We will have paint, too," say organizers. "Each registration includes either a medium pumpkin and carving kit, or a small pumpkin and painting supplies.
