Ribbons will be awarded in each grade level for several different categories

and this year the classroom with the most decorated Jack-O-Lanterns will

receive a cash prize of $500.

Another big part of the event is the Trick or Treat on Main Street, which

will be Saturday, Oct. 23, from 6-9 p.m. Children can trick-or-treat in the

downtown area, and there will also be a costume contest, a story telling,

an Octoberfest and other crafts and activities around the Gazebo and at Heritage

Park.

The event is sponsored by Main Street Fayetteville and Magic 98.1.

The Pumpkin Walk began as an idea 20 years ago from then-Fayetteville Elementary

teacher Karen Bullock decided to have a pumpkin carving contest. The next

year it spread to nearly every classroom in the school.
