Halloween countdown - Pumpkin decorating contest

First Prize - Pumpkin Decorating Contest
We do pull out all the stops on holidays and these were some of the pumpkins entered into the hospital pumpkin decorating contest. I am sure you can guess that the one below was designed by the Women's Services staff - "Gourd on Board", cracked me up it did. The rat eaten number was created by our Human Resources staff. I liked the pictures of the judges looking a little concerned by the rat ridden pumpkin.

Thanks to Peter Tecklenburg and my friend Dr. Susan Moore for serving as judges. I am happy to pass that responsibility on to other people. Peter Tecklenburg is on our hospital board. He used to work with my daughter years ago and is now running for County Auditor. Hopefully after next week I will be able to say I had the Charleston County Auditor judge my pumpkin contest. :)) Good luck Peter!

Yes. The judges agreed. She won a giant cheesecake for her department.
