PUMPKINS ARE PLENTIFUL AT PEABODY PLACE HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION

Don't Miss Ugly Pumpkin Contest October 26

MEMPHIS, Tenn., (Tuesday, October 22, 2002)– Painted pumpkins, ugly pumpkins and plummeting pumpkins will abound at the Halloween celebration at Peabody Place Entertainment and Retail Center at the corner of Third Street and Peabody Place downtown on Saturday afternoon, October 26.

From 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., kids can select their favorite mini pumpkin to decorate with paints and markers and take home. Free Halloween face painting and Halloween balloon animals will add to the excitement.

Radio station 93X will be encouraging listeners to bring in their most hideous pumpkins for the Ugly Pumpkin Pageant from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m., culminating in the Ugly Pumpkin judging at 2:30 p.m. The winner will receive a free trip for two to Atlanta to see Creed. Gifts from Peabody Place and the 93X prize closet will reward runners up.

The afternoon's grand finale is set for 3:00 p.m. when Ugly Pumpkin contestants can express their grief at not winning or their general frustration by dropping their pumpkins from the second level of Peabody Place. They'll be aiming for a target set up in a controlled area outside the grand staircase near Tower Records. Participants will receive $5 game cards from Jillian's and $5 gift cards from Tower Records.
