Pumpkin Carving, Chili Cookoff, Trunk or Treat (Oct 25, 2015)

Please join us for our Annual Pumpkin Carving, Chili Cook-off, and Trunk or Treat on Oct 25, 2015 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. All ages and stages are welcome at this parish-wide event.

Please bring your “gutless” pumpkin (remove seeds and pulp at home), carving tools, your adorable children (in costume, if desired), a pot of chili to be judged (optional, but prizes are awarded!) and a non-sweet side dish to share – dessert will be provided. We will begin the carving at 5:00 PM, start judging chili at 5:15 PM (so be sure to have your pot in place), eat chili at 5:30 p.m., light the pumpkins at 5:45 p.m. and then start enjoying the youth festivities and Trunk or Treat at 6:00 PM. Children are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes. This year’s youth activities include a carnival (all proceeds from the carnival go to Episcopal Farm Workers Ministry Missions) and Trunk or Treat!

We will also enjoy hot dogs, fixings, chips, and a sweet treat supplied by Children’s Ministries (don’t forget to bring a side item to share). Chili prizes will be awarded to the top chili recipes (spiciest, best vegetarian, most unusual, and best all around), so dig through your recipe box and make your favorite chili! To make sure we have enough chili, we are asking all chili entrants to “preregister” their recipe by emailing Christine.Ingram@StPaulsCary.org and saying “I am bringing chili.” Thank you!
