Glen Ellyn Chamber Seeking 'Bootiful' Pumpkins
The chamber is holding its annual pumpkin decorating contest and Glen Ellyn children are invited to participate.
Before you head to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect specimen for carving, keep in mind the Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce is putting out the call for “bootiful” Halloween pumpkins.
The chamber’s annual pumpkin decorating contest is seeking fancifully decorated pumpkins, which will be put on display at local businesses.
The pumpkins will be judged and the decorators of the best of the bunch will receive $10, $15 and $25 Glen Ellyn Chamber of Commerce gift certificates, according the chamber’s Executive Director Georgia Koch.
