Fall is here and many are outside decorating homes for the holidays. Halloween, Thanksgiving and festive fall arrangements are popping up everywhere!

N.C. Cooperative Extension, Currituck County Center is hosting a Festive Fall Arrangement Contest as part of the Fall Family Fun: An Online Fair Event. No prior experience is necessary.

Decorate front porches, mailboxes, lamp posts or even a hay bale using favorite Halloween, Thanksgiving or festive fall themes. Contestants must use flowers or plants in the display and are encouraged to use pumpkins, gourds, grasses and appropriate holiday decorations. Then simply take a picture of the creation and submit it.

Each form requires you to include a photo of your entry. Each photo must include the arrangement that entrant or entrant’s group created.

 The arrangements will be judged on overall creativity and prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. The deadline to enter is November 6. Voting will take place from Nov. 10-16. All Fall Family Fun participants will be able to vote for their favorite festive fall arrangement design. Once voting has ended, winners will be announced on the fair VR main stage at noon on Nov. 17.
