The 2008 Midnight Madness event will be full of fun and suprises, starting with...
The Community Pumpkin Display
In 2007, one of WUMA's members saw a great story in Country Living magazine about Keene, New Hampshire -- a town that calls out to all citizens each October to decorate a pumpkin for a community display. It's gotten to the point in Keene that the display is a 3-story tower of pumpkins! One person even proposed at the event, carving "Marry Me" in a series of individual pumpkins! While we don't know if we'll ever get to a 3-story tower (although that would be cool!), uptown merchants thought that this was a great idea for Westerville, and anyone in our community, from baby to senior, can participate.So, join in on October 31st!
There are Prizes for the top 3 decorated pumpkins:
First Prize is a $25 Uptown Gift Card.
Second Prize is a $15 Uptown Gift Card.
Third Prize is a $10 Uptown Gift Card.
