A big moon-sized “thank you” to all the Leeds Pumpkin Carvers and families that made this event…well, a spectacular event! Without you, your efforts, and participation the night of October 27th would have been just another quiet evening on the corner of Upland and Chestnut. Instead, because Leeds people know how to give it up for a good party, we had over 50 pumpkin entries, yummy food, music, a crackling fire pit and of course as the the grand finale… Jim’s “famous blazing creation!”<\/p>\n

And did I mention prizes?
\nDrum Roll…..And the winners are…<\/p>\n
