Then you paint that character on your pumpkin but do not carve the pumpkin. After that take the pumpkin to the media center or leave it in the front office and staff will deliver it to the media center. Then you\u2019re done and other people can see your work of art in the media center!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not sure if I have any favorites because every year somebody comes in with a design I never seen before and or even if they done one that I have seen before they do it differently and then I can\u2019t pick a favorite they are all really cool and creative I love it\u201d said Meyers.<\/p>\n<p>Every person who made a pumpkin this year has been getting an amazing prize for completing the challenge of creating character pumpkins.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCulver\u2019s is going to give everybody who participated a free scoop of custard coupon\u201d said Meyers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-341\" src=\"https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/character-1-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/character-1-283x300.jpg 283w, https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/character-1-768x814.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/character-1.jpg 860w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-342 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Character-4-300x285.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Character-4-300x285.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Character-4-768x731.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Character-4.jpg 862w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-343\" src=\"https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Charcter-1-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Charcter-1-283x300.jpg 283w, https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Charcter-1-768x815.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Charcter-1.jpg 857w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-344\" src=\"https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Charcter-3-300x292.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Charcter-3-300x292.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Charcter-3-768x747.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-pia.stjohns.k12.fl.us\/newspaper\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/22\/2023\/11\/Charcter-3.jpg 848w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Leyton Shaw and Ashton Williams Show off your love for literature by making your favorite storybook characters on pumpkins for PIA to display in the media center.
