Autumn is in the air, and Bradford Colony neighbors are invited to come together for an afternoon of creativity, community, and good old-fashioned pumpkin fun. The Bradford Colony Pumpkin Carving Contest will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025, from 1:00 to 4:00 PM at the neighborhood park—rain or shine.

Hosted by the Bradford Colony HOA, this family-friendly event is open to all homeowners and residents of the community. Whether you're a seasoned pumpkin artist or just looking to have some festive fun, you're encouraged to join in.

Pumpkins and carving tools will be provided, but residents are also welcome to bring their own supplies if they have a favorite carving set at home. The only thing participants need to bring is their own design or stencil—so start planning those spooky, silly, or spectacular jack-o’-lantern ideas now!

The event is designed to offer something fun for the entire neighborhood—a chance for families to spend time together, show off their creativity, and enjoy the spirit of the fall season.

In addition to carving, there will be free snacks and refreshments to keep the festive energy going throughout the afternoon. And yes—there’s even more reason to carve your best creation: cash prizes and gift cards will be awarded to the top pumpkins!

So grab your neighbors, prep your carving hands, and get ready to show off your fall spirit. Whether you're in it to win it or just there to enjoy the fun, this is one event Bradford Colony residents won't want to miss.
