Months of planning came to fruition on October 3 with the Germantown Oktoberfest and again eight days later for the Kentlands Oktoberfest. Events were chaired by two teams: Katie Skinker, Angela Jandrew and Melissa Unger co-chaired the Beer Tent at the Germantown Oktoberfest while Kara Farrell and Stephanie Rago co-chaired the Paint-a-Pumpkin booths at both festivals.
Germantown Oktoberfest
Courtney Marburger and Valerie Palmer started off the day by inventing the Paint-a-Pumpkin dance.

By mid-afternoon, we had a sea of colorfully decorated pumpkins.

Kentlands Oktoberfest

A few hours later, many of the pumpkins were painted. Over the course of 5 hours, 237 pumpkins had been painted. That's the most we've ever sold at the Kentlands event.
After painting your pumpkin, you can leave it to dry. We put a numbered flag on each pumpkin and give you a clothespin with the number on it. To keep the clothespin from getting lost, you can attach it to a shirt sleeve, pocket, or as Katie Skinker demonstrates, even an ear.
