Oh My Gourd! A boo-tiful night is in store!

The Sutton Fourth Committee invites you to get ready for this highly anticipated event of the year - the upcoming, thrilling third edition of the “Oh My Gourd, It’s the Great Pumpkin Extravaganza” on Saturday, Oct.28 at the Sutton Town Common. This event is free and open to the general public of all ages. 
Brace yourselves as we unveil the most intricately carved pumpkins from our community.  Next, steel yourself for a new-this-year a scarecrow contest.  There is no entry fee for either contest, but donations are gladly accepted.  For more information and to register for either contest, visit thesuttonfourth.org.  Pumpkins and scarecrows will be displayed until November 2.
