It's all well and good to preserve your produce for later use, but who can resist having a little fun with one or two or ten for this particular holiday. Besides, you can feed the remains to the livestock afterwards, right? Since Halloween is this coming Tuesday, I'm going to keep this contest simple.

1. Carve a pumpkin or other squash any way you wish. (Try to keep it clean for the kiddies, please. Thanks!)

2. Proof it's your creation by the addition of an identifying card showing your Steemit Name, Steemit Logo, Date of the Photo, and the Hashtag #HomesteadersHalloween.

3. Limit 2 entries. Use separate comments for each entry.

4. Post the picture in the comments below. Most votes wins! You can do a separate post, but only those in the comments will be counted.

5. Upvote this post for the Prize Pool. Whoever gets the most votes on their entry in the comments at the time of payout gets the SBD! (Optional: Resteem to increase visibility, participation, general fun, and of course, the Prize Pool.)

6. Bonus - If the winner shows proof the squash of choice was obtained from their garden OR a farm stand and I'll throw in 5 Steem for supporting local growers.
