Beginning Thursday, October 16, the Coos Bay Library will again be offering Take and Make Pumpkin Painting Kits geared towards young people ages 0-18. Each kit will contain a free Mahaffy Ranch pumpkin, an assortment of acrylic paint samplers and a small paint brush. Kits can then be taken home and used. Supplies are limited; kits will be available for pick-up at the Library during regular operating hours.

In addition to the kit, kids 0-18 are invited to participate in a pumpkin painting contest. Photos of entries may be sent to jknight@coosbaylibrary.org prior to October 29. Photos may be shared by the library on social media. All pumpkin photos entered in the contest must be painted. Prizes will be awarded for the spookiest pumpkin, Coos Bay Library-Themed, most literary, and original creation. Winners will be notified by email or phone.
