Pumpkin-decorating contest coming soon

CEYLON — Tuesday morning coffee hours in October continue from 8:30-10 a.m. at St. Luke’s Catholic Church in Sherburn.

Also, a coffee lovers group in Ceylon meets from 8:30-10 each Thursday at Legends 2.

These are two great opportunities to join friends and neighbors for great brew and good fellowship.

The Ceylon group hopes to continue through the year.

The city of Ceylon will hold a pumpkin-decorating contest from Oct. 21-31.

Bring your decorated pumpkin, beginning Oct. 21, to the fitness center (old city hall building) across from the post office to be on display outside the building.

Stop by City Hall to get a number for your pumpkin. There will only be numbers on the pumpkins, no names.

Parents may pick up numbers for their children and leave name and phone numbers.

Decorate your pumpkin any way you would like: carve it, paint it, use markers, put masks, etc., on it.

There will be three age categories judged: 3-7 years old, 8-11 years old and 12-15 years old.

For more information, contact City Hall at (507) 632-4653.

This is a good idea to have children help decorate the town.

Upcoming opportunities to give blood include Red Cross blood drives from 12:30-5:30 p.m. Nov. 4 at Martin Luther High School in Northrop, and from 1-6 p.m. Nov. 11 in Sherburn.

For information on upcoming blood drives in the area and to make an appointment, call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767), go to www.red crossblood.org or text BLOODAPP to 90999.
