It’s Pumpkin Time in the Cimarron Library!

The Cimarron Library Pumpkin Patch has sprouted some amazing pumpkins again this year.  Each year, students and their families create pumpkins based on book characters and bring them to decorate the library during the last week of October.  This project seems to bring out the best of our Cimarron families’ creativity and fun, and our students and staff love to look at all the terrific results. We welcomed old favorites like Cat in the Hat, Wimpy Kid, Harry Potter, SkippyJon Jones and Clifford.

    

And some new characters showed up – Jangles, the big fish who “steals” all the fishing lures – this is a Bluebonnet List book this year.  As well as, Jasper Rabbit from Creepy Carrots, Thumbelina, Pinkalicious, Pippi Longstocking, and Camilla from A Bad Case of Stripes. 

Several superheroes also flew in to join the party: Batman, Spiderman, and Captain America!  We were completely flabbergasted by a couple of truly outstanding family projects: James and the Giant Peach and Dragon with a cold. 

Thanks to all the families that participated! We look forward to seeing the fabulous creations each October in the library.
