A little peek behind the scenes at this year’s Pumpkin Fest creation 🎃
I decided to swap the carving knife for paint this year and give our pumpkin a proper SugarMango makeover — colourful, a little quirky and definitely not taking Halloween too seriously.
She’s now finished and ready for the **Pumpkin Fest competition tomorrow**, when Southbourne Grove will be full of pumpkins, Halloween fun, treats and plenty going on for the kids.
It’s always such a lovely, busy day on the Grove and one of those events that really shows off our local high street at its best.
So if you’re looking for something to do tomorrow, come down, have a wander, see all the pumpkins and let us know what you think of ours. 🎃
And yes… I may have become slightly too emotionally invested in a pumpkin. 😂
