Halloween Fun in Westport

The last week has been full of halloween fun here in Westport!

John and Cynthia have once again done a fabulous job of getting our businesses out to support the Children's Wish Foundation. Their Random Acts of Pumpkins saw a wall of pumpkins shouting out Act 4 of this annual festival.

Nineteen businesses got 5 pumpkins each and created a display in their windows or front porches. From spooky to literary, the themes were all done with creative endeavour.

Here at Artemisia, The Picture of Dorian Gray became The
Portrait of Dorian Pumpkin.....

Despite a fall from grace, the old man was put back together
with staples and tape, and looked none the worse for the
wear!

Kids came to do pumpkin carving here too and came up
with some delightful designs for their front porches.
I wish I had thought to take some photos. Although I do
miss the pumpkins that lined the street and harbour last
year, this year was lots of fun too.

Thanks John and Cynthia! A Job Well Done! ! ! And great support for the Children's Wish
Foundation.
