Pumpkin Destruction!
Pumpkin Party at Paul’s Place!
Bring your pumpkin and a friend. And a handy selection of sharp instruments. And power tools. And incendiary devices. I suggest that you buy one a week or so early, make sure it has a good stem, leave it uncut and keep it in a cool, dry place until the big day. We’ll also supply grub, goodies, and drinkables. If you want to bring something, you’re welcome to.
What: Pumpkin Party!
When: Sunday, October 25th at Noon.
Where: Paul’s House
Why: Mirth, merriment, and monstrous mutiliation of melons.
Who: Yourself, and anyone else you want to bring with you.
The pumpkin party will take place in the garage. We’ll have a couple of space heaters running, but you might want to dress warmly anyway. If the weather is good, we can overflow into the patio area between the house and apartment for chit-chat and BBQing. If the weather’s not so good, we can overflow into the main house.
Please reply if you intend to come!
Here’s a picture of the house to make it easier to spot:

Directions:
I-5:
Take I-5 Northbound or Southbound, depending on where you are coming from.
Take the Hwy 2 Eastbound exit.
Stay right at the end of the trestle, following Hwy 2 around to the right.
Take the Snohomish/Bickford Rd exit.
Turn right on Weaver Rd, not far after the Bickford Ford dealership.
When you come to a stop sign, you are basically looking right at our house.
Go forward through the stop and turn into the first driveway on your right.
Highway 9:
Take Hwy 9 Northbound or Southbound, depending on where you are coming from.
Take the southern-most Snohomish exit.
If you’re coming from the south, it is right after the bridge.
Turn West off of the exit. If you are coming from the south, that means go left, under the bridge.
Turn right on Ludwig Rd, JUST after the off-ramp coming from the north.
It is a deceptively sharp turn, and not well marked. Be careful not to turn onto the off-ramp by mistake.
Follow this road. It will go straight for a while, then go through a series of 90-degree turns, changing names, then go straight again.
Just before the stop sign, turn left into the last driveway before the corner.
Here are some of our previous creations!

















Hi!
I will do my best to attend. I don’t think my homegrown pumpkins will be ready in time, but I can get one from Carpinito’s.
I was thinking, since making homemade Christmas gifts was so much fun last year, I would like to do it again this year. But I need some extra time! How about we do the exchange drawing at the Pumpkin Carving instead of Thanksgiving?
I’m up for homemade gifts again, and I don’t see a problem with doing the drawing at the pumpkin party!
