    Wishing all of you and your families a fun and safe Halloween.

    How many big time Halloween fans do we have here?

    Has anybody carved or painted pumpkins?

    I am currently working on my pumpkin. I love carving pumpkins and have been pleased with how some of my past carvings have turned out. I wasn’t going to carve one this year but I saw an IG post by NASA Glenn where you can submit your carvings and I thought “challenge accepted”. So I quickly decided to carve a space shuttle flying through space with a spiral Galaxy. It’s definitely a process because of the detail but I’m making progress and hope that it comes out well.

    (I posted this in the main forum, but mods feel free to move it to OT now or after Halloween if you’d like)

    If we had enough interest I think it would be cool next year if we carved Blazer themed pumpkins and share our creations with each other.

    Usually at churches, people gather their cars in the parking lot, decorate them, and give out candy to kids who wander from trunk to trunk. Designed as a safer, more efficient, and more community-involved alternative to traditional trick-or-treating.

    Our church did ours on Sunday. Also had a lot of indoor activities set up, food, beverages, music, etc.

    We could have added a game and beer option.

    Happy Halloween!

    My fun thing is I'm filming a short horror comedy tonight. So that'll be fun.

    Yeah this is a school but pretty much the same. Gets the neighborhood together without the house to house thing. Little more controlled and more secure. Still way too much candy.

    Thank you. That explains why I saw the sign in a church parking lot.
