Jasper Partners with Curiosity Coffee and Gardener's Outpost on Pumpkin Carving Contest with Some of the City's Finest Artists

The Jasper Project is excited to host some of the city’s spookiest artists in a pumpkin carving contest and you’re invited to vote on the Greatest Pumpkin People’s Choice Award!

Join us on Friday October 28th from 4 - 8 pm at Curiosity Coffee as more than a dozen local artists bring their scariest, funniest, and most innovative pumpkin creations to Curiosity Coffee to be admired and assessed by a panel of judges and YOU!

Our Artists include:  

 Bohumila Augustinova

A panel of judges will select the Scariest, Silliest, and Most Innovative Pumpkins of the night and award them blue ribbons.

But You will determine the grand prize winner by purchasing special Jasper Candy Votes and and placing your votes in the trick-or-treat bag assigned to your favorite pumpkin. Candy votes will be $1 each and sold in $5 bags. At the end of the night, votes will be tallied, prizes will be awarded, and we’ll all divvy up the candy or donate it to sugar-crazy children. All proceeds will go toward publication costs for Jasper Magazine.

Curiosity Coffee has lots more fun planned, too, including Mary’s Arepas, Spooky Vibes by DJ Liv, and you can pick up your “Nightmare in Elmwood 5K Road Race” packet from 4 - 6:30pm.

We can’t wait to see what some of our favorite artists create and share the fun with all of you!
