PumpkinTime to be creative!

Whitchurch Arts is having a decoration competition for Pumpkins and another one for Guys, all leading up to a Whitchurch Festival event on the Millennium Meadow at the end of the month.

The grand prize for most creative pumpkin is a Sunday dinner for 4 with a bottle of wine at the White Hart! The prize for best Guy is a dinner for 2 at the Blue Ginger.

Details and an entry form are at HERE or ring Andrew on 893525.  A creative pumpkin was shown in our article in the Andover Advertiser on Friday, 23 October.

Your pumpkins and/or Guys should be ready during the week starting Sunday, 25 October so that members of Whitchurch Arts can judge them starting then, and through that week. Update: you can enter throughout the week, the sooner the better, of course!

Awards will be handed out at the Meadow – so bring your Guy and pumpkins there for 5:30pm on the 31st.

Oh, yes, be on the lookout for hidden pumpkins around this website, and others around town…

ARH20091010-33957 (Large)The Heidi McLaughlin band has featured on our pages before, for good reason – they are a rockin’ good band to enjoy whenever and wherever they are in town.

Tonight, they were playing at the King’s Arms pub to a full house.  It was a tight squeeze in more ways than one.  They belted out their homegrown music and songs as well as classic rock and blues.

Spare a thought, though, for the lead singer who had to take swigs of cough syrup every three songs, and dodge more…
