Practice Drawing
It's a little more difficult than one would think. And unlike real pumpkins, the fake ones had very deep ridges in them. Here Joel Leonard tries his hand at painting. He threw his hands up, went back to the grocery store and got a couple more of the real thing. He said they were much easier to work with. He used white out for McCain and Biden's white hair.

Do you want media there the day of your event? Yes. But isn't it more important to get advance publicity? Yes.

A Big Thank You ----
All of the candidates that I could get ahold of were invited to this event. Some of their staff persons laughed and howled when I shared with them this event. I was calling asking for a photo for the students to use as a guide. Most of the candidates responded. A great big thank you goes out to the Statesville Record & Landmark for all their assistance in pulling this event together! And, a big thank you to the Statesville Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Statesville Downtown Development Corporation, Inc. for letting me do this event.
