Gorgeous yet Grumpy Gourds Light Up Kiwanis Carving Night

Children gathered at the community centre for the second annual Kiwanis Club of Rodney-hosted event.

The Rodney Community Centre gymnasium was filled with laughter and creativity as 22 large orange pumpkins were transformed into jack-o-lanterns in preparation for Halloween night.

The Kiwanis Club of Rodney hosted its second annual pumpkin carving night, drawing children, parents and even a few grandparents.

Using safe carving tools supplied by the Kiwanians, participants worked through the thick-walled gourds to create expressive faces featuring arched eyebrows, wide eyes, pointed noses and toothy grins — some friendly, others suitably fearsome.

Special thanks go to Julian Gervais of Over the Top Produce for providing the pumpkins.
