(Photo courtesy Keweenaw Krayons.)CALUMET -- The 5th and Elm Coffee Shop in Calumet is the place: Halloween, Friday, Oct. 31 is the date, and Elise Matz is the carver for Keweenaw Krayons' First Annual Pumpkin Carv-a-Thon. Matz will begin her marathon carving at 7 a.m. and hopes to carve at least 26 of the big orange squash.
Pledges from area businesses and individuals are being sought. How many pumpkins do you think she can carve? How much will you pledge per pumpkin? What is your maximum pledge? All questions that are on the official pledge form being circulated by Matz and Keweenaw Krayons volunteers. Deadline for the pledges is 7 a.m. TOMORROW, HALLOWEEN, the day of the event.
Carved pumpkins will be available for purchase on site as they are completed.
Keweenaw Krayons photographers (assisted by student photographers from the BHK Great Explorations Program) will be on hand to take pictures of kids (and adults) in their costumes ($5 for a 4x6 photo) from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. All profits will benefit Keweenaw Krayons.
The evening will also feature Halloween-oriented activities and games for kids.
