Spooks – Pumpkins – Scavengers: OH MY!

In Downtown Pleasanton, strange things are happening … scarecrows are appearing all over town, spooks are coming out of hiding, and people are carving odd faces in unsuspecting pumpkins!  Has everyone gone mad?!  Are aliens invading Pleasanton?!

Don’t be afraid … the Fall Fest has come to town.  Since October 18, downtown businesses have been displaying a wide-range of scarecrows … some funny … some spooky … but all of them creative!  Through Friday, October 30, vote for your favorite scarecrow and receive a raffle ticket to bring to the Fall Fest on Saturday, October 31, for a chance to WIN your pick!  You can also purchase additional raffle tickets for $1 each at the Museum on Main or Studio 7, both in downtown Pleasanton.  Proceeds will benefit future Fall Fest events.

On October 31 (during the Farmer’s Market), the Fall Fest explodes into a family, fun-filled day at the Museum on Main:

• A carved pumpkin contest is a family-favorite event.  Bring YOUR pre-carved pumpkin between 9 AM – 10 AM to enter the contest.  There are three age categories and prizes:

Ages 10 and under

Ages 11 – 17

Ages 18 and up

Between 10 AM – 2 PM, the public will vote for the winners in each age group plus a “Best in Show” winner.  Winners receive merchant or downtown gift cards.

• The Scarecrows will be on full display at the Museum on Main from 10 AM –    2 PM, with the raffle following.
• The Fall Dessert Contest from 11 AM – 2 PM will have you licking your lips for days!  For a $5 ballot, you’ll be able to sample DELICIOUS desserts from some great downtown businesses … YUM!  Vote for your favorite baker.
• The FUN isn’t over!  A spooky scavenger hunt begins at 12 Noon at the Museum on Main.  Dress your kids in their favorite costume and then register them in the hunt.  The children will randomly draw a card revealing their starting point, figure out which is their first business, run to it, and get their next clue.  REGISTER EARLY – the first 150 registrants will win an awesome goody bag at the end!
• Additional activities will be sponsored by various businesses in their stores that you won’t want to miss!
