Pumpkin Art

Yes, yes, Halloween and the Pumpkin Spiral Walk has come and gone - and what a weekend it was! Pumpkin carvers showed up in numbers at the Arts Building on Saturday afternoon and dug in. Others showed up earlier in the week at the art farm with their works of art. Meanwhile, artfarmers Sandy Buck, William Christiansen and Scott Tilley set to work on the spiral walk itself. Sandy and William staked the laurel spiral with bamboo sculpture, metal artwork and pumpkin altars while Scott put together the light display for the event (video projector and all!). Our community donors (Greenroom Organics, Coastal Creativity, IGA, Starbucks, Soundwerks) stepped up with prizes, refreshments and pumpkins while the rest of our volunteers jumped in to light the candles, serve up the hot chocolate and decorate the hub. This was truly a community event powered by the community and for the community and we are grateful to live in such a place. Thank you to everyone who pitched in, carved out and showed up - here's to the start of a great Sunshine Coast tradition!
