Craft vendors will feature works of pottery, art embroidery, clothing and wood. Food will include offerings from a variety of local vendors. \u201cWe are reaching out to a couple of people,\u201d Sturgill said when asked about musical entertainment. There will also be a variety of fall games including: Chomping for Worms, Wrap the Mummy, Toss the Blob, Glow in the Duck Lagoon, and Bobbing for Apples. The Corbin Arts and Literary League is once again sponsoring its pumpkin decorating contest. Pumpkins may be dropped off at Sanders Park between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. Monday. Krystle White of the league emphasized that it is a painting contest as opposed to a carving contests because the pumpkins will remain on display through Halloween. \u201cIf you puncture the pumpkins, they will go bad,\u201d White explained. There are no rules for pumpkin size and no theme that contestants must attempt to convey. \u201cRun wild,\u201d White said when asked for advice for contestants. Prize Categories include: Ages 8 &amp; Under: 1st &amp; 2nd Place Ages 9 &#8211; 12: 1st &amp; 2nd Place Ages 13 &amp; Up: 1st &amp; 2nd Place Scariest Pumpkin Cutest Pumpkin Most Creative Pumpkin Best in Show Judging will begin at 6 p.m.. The winners will be announced at 6:30 p.m. Winners will receive a cash prize and a T-shirt designed by White. &nbsp;"}
