Redmond Fire Department (RFD) is hosting a pumpkin carving contest on Saturday, Oct. 30. The winner in each category will be a guest for dinner at the downtown fire station.

Pumpkins can be carved, painted or decorated — with or without lights. The entry fee is $5 per pumpkin, with all proceeds going to the RFD Benevolent Fund, which supports local people facing personal tragedy.

Drop off all pumpkins between 4-7 p.m. on Oct. 30 at Redmond Fire Station 11, 8450 161st Ave. NE. Judging will take place from 7-8 p.m. Pumpkins will be judged in four divisions, 3rd grade and under, 4th-7th grade, 8th-12th grade and adult.
