How to Carve & Preserve Your Pumpkin Until Halloween Sponsored by: CANYONVILLE ACE HARDWARE (541) 839-4093

Sometimes carving a pumpkin is a daunting task. Yet, it can be easy and straightforward. The first step is to choose the right pumpkin. Get one that is symmetrical or suits the shape of your design. Whatever the case, you need your pumpkin to sit flat when on a flat surface. Choose a pumpkin without blemishes, one with smooth skin and a nicely shaped stem. Pumpkins with cracks or large flaws are harder to carve and usually don’t last as long.

Carved pumpkins will usually last at least 2 weeks. You can prevent shriveling by soaking overnight and then rubbing Vaseline (or vegetable oil) on the exposed parts right after you cut the pumpkin, but not on the inside as it could be a fire hazard if you use a flame. If your pumpkin does start to shrivel, you can soak the entire carved pumpkin for a couple of hours in water. This will re hydrate it. Or as a last resort, simply cover the entire pumpkin with a damp cloth or towel when it is not being used.

CARVING & TOOLS

Before you start the carving, you should use a water-based marker and draw the design. Should you make a mistake you will be able to erase it easily using a damp cloth or sponge. Next you will want to use a sharp knife with a straight edge to cut large areas. Have a parent or responsible older person do this for you if you are incapable. Do not use a knife with a dull blade. Very unsafe! You can pick up serrated saws from hardware stores for kids that want to join in on the action.

portions by either pushing out from the inside or in from the outside.

FINAL TOUCHES

You can use your rind scraps to carve eyebrows, ears, tongues, etc and then pin in appropriate places with toothpicks. Other options are “Mr. Potato Head’ parts, Spanish moss, yarn or corn silk “hair”, feathers, artificial flower stems and more! Use your imagination. Instead of cutting all the way through the pumpkin, peel off layers of the skin to different thicknesses. This will give varying amounts of light, allowing for much more intricate designs.

PREPARATION FOR LIGHTING

2008 1ST PLACE WINNER JAN PURVINE Safety requires that you carve away from yourself and that youth remember to have adult supervision. Whether you are a child or an adult, do not carve your design holding the knife in a stabbing position. While you are carving, make sure there is always a portion of the knife in the pumpkin at all times. Also, use steady strokes. Cutting out the lid, requires you do so at angle. The inside diameter of the lid has to be smaller than the outside. Not doing so will result in the lid dropping right into the opening of the pumpkin. You want to be able to close the lid as you would close a lid on a cookie jar. Remove the seed and stringy flesh from inside the pumpkin with a large spoon or scoop. When you begin carving the face on the pumpkin, start near the center and work outward. Carve large features in sections. To cut details, use an X-Acto-knife. For small circles and curves, a potato peeler is a great tool. Remove carved

There should be enough holes in the pumpkin to allow ventilation for your candle. Flatten a small area inside the pumpkin for the candle to stand, but don’t dig too deeply into the pumpkin which will cause spoilage sooner. Make sure the flame of the candle does not reach the top of the pumpkin. Tea lights or votives are traditional. Lastly, soak it overnight and then rub with oil or petroleum jelly to preserve until Halloween.

How To Enter Contest Submit Entry Form with your carved pumpkin at Pioneer Park on Saturday October 17, 2009 between 11:00 and 11:30. Late entries will not be considered for the contest. However, everyone is invited to display a carved pumpkin during the dusk lighting ceremony. Please include a tea light in your pumpkin. Pumpkins must be carved and hollowed. Pumpkins will be judged on Originality and Creativity. Entry forms can be picked up at Canyonville Ace Hardware, online at canyonvillepumpkinfestival.com or at Pioneer Park at time of registration on Oct 17.

Growing this pumpkin will take daily attention from late Spring into early Fall. What can be more exciting than watching a vine grow so fast it seems it could grow around you if you stand too still? There are several steps, including good luck, to be successful. The following steps are a brief introduction. There are books and websites dedicated to

Giant Pumpkins See for yourself Jo’s Giant pumpkin

all the tricks and pleasures of growing the Giant Pumpkin.

First comes the seeds from last year’s giant pumpkin. The bigger the pumpkin the seeds are harvested from the better your chances are. Genetics rule. Second, start the seeds by late April in a Greenhouse or on the windowsill. It is recommended to start at least two plants to be transplanted in late May. Wait until the weather is truly warm. Remember the good luck mentioned above. Prepare a large area, at least 10’ X 10’, with lots of organic mat-

ter (also known as manure) as the vine will send down roots at every leaf node. Continue to Fertilize, Fertilize, Fertilize with lots of nitrogen at first followed by phosphorous and Water, Water, Water. As the plant sets fruit it is important to choose just one. But be patient and choose one about 6 feet away from the beginning. Continue removing any new “babies” as they appear so all the energy will go to the Chosen One. Be sure to brag to all your family and friends and ...........Most important - Have Fun!

SCARECROW BUILDING TIPS Written by: PAM LANDELL Sponsored by: BEAD MECCA (541) 839-6688

whatever you use should withstand the elements. You can sew your pieces together with heavy upholstery thread, or use wire, duct tape, twine or even a stapler. Display - You must be able to stand your scarecrow up or have a prop for display. One way to make a post stand is to use a stake that is placed in a bucket of cement. Once cured you can affix your scarecrow to the stake.

Head - This is the focal point of your Scarecrow, so spend some time planning it’s personality. You can create a traditional Scarecrow with an old pillow case or burlap and then add yarn, buttons and fabric features. Hair can be an old mop or wig.
