The 2009 Forbidden Pumpkin Carving Contest was a smashing success! Both the Juneau and Seattle branches hosted the event and we even had a couple mail in efforts. As usual, the FPB related pumpkins took home the glory, but that's not to diminish the efforts of these other amazing works of art. Above we have the ShotGun Lager logo lady performing in style.
Above are the entries from the Juneau branch and below are the carvers hard at work.
Here are the entries from the Seattle crew:
And this is where it all began- A trip to the local pumpkin farm to select the potential big winner. Selecting the perfect pumpkin can be a difficult task and we noted that people who grabbed two or three generally seemed more pleased and took half the time than those searching for the "one". This particular farm feeds their pumpkins a combination of water, milk, and beer. The pumpkins seemed healthy and happy, so obviously a great combination.
Some find the beautiful flawless orange pumpkins, but others have a different perspective......
The Forbidden Peak Mountain Monster pumpkin received the unique pumpkin award this year. It was clearly the creepiest entry and deserved recognition.
Thanks to everyone for continuing the great tradition. We look forward to besting these next year!
Cheers,
FPB
