Description

The Gleason Public Library will host its Great Pumpkin Spectacle for the 37th year!  

Want to submit a pumpkin? Bring your pumpkin to the Library Lawn between 4:00PM and 5:30PM.  Pumpkins will be judged separately by grade, with three winners in each grade level, K-4. 

Masks for everyone ages 2 and up are required, and please maintain a social distance of 6 feet between parties.

Notes from the Library's website: 

  • This year, we will not have separate categories for pumpkins. There will still be three winners per grade, but instead of having separate categories, all submitted pumpkins in each grade will be judged together. There will also be two "lucky" winners, one drawn from lower elementary and one drawn from upper elementary. Those who do not wish their pumpkins to be judged may bring them to a special “display only” table.
  • We will present Talewise's "Mummy at the Mystery Mansion" online that evening! We will also announce the winners in a virtual award ceremony at 7:00PM.
  • Please remember to pick up your pumpkins later that evening between 7:15PM to 8:00PM. You might want to bring flashlights if you arrive after 8:00PM or you can pick it up the next morning.
  • Special thanks to the Friends of the Gleason Library, the Carlisle Police Department, Carlisle Public School, the Carlisle Mosquito, our volunteers, our guest judges, and you, all our participants!
