The Garrett County Board of REALTORS® hosted its 3rd Annual Pumpkin Palooza at Dutch’s at Silver Tree. This family-friendly, community-focused fundraiser benefits Garrett Mentors, a nonprofit providing positive role models for Garrett County elementary students. Pumpkin Palooza offers kids and adults alike a fun and casual atmosphere to carve and decorate pumpkins which are later judged for the chance at a gift card to Dutch’s at Silver Tree.
The public event welcomed everyone from GCBR members and affiliates, local families, and Garrett Mentors and Mentees. A total of 21 pumpkins were entered into the Pumpkin Contest, with winners determined by a poll conducted on the GCBR Facebook page, allowing the community to vote for their favorites.
By Facebook vote, the Winners were:
- 🥇 The Pumpkin in the Purple Mask
- 🥈 ‘ROWAN’
- 🥉 The Tim Burton
This year’s Pumpkin Palooza was made possible by generous contributions, including refreshments donated by Dutch’s at Silver Tree, pumpkins provided by Halian & Associates Landscapes, and sponsorships from GCBR affiliates April Jones of First United Bank (double platinum sponsor) and David Savage of Savage Home Inspections (platinum sponsor).
“Pumpkin Palooza is a wonderful way for our community to come together, celebrate creativity, and support Garrett Mentors,” said GCBR Networking Committee Chairwoman Katie Cantrell.
