NC State College of Design Hosts Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest

Students from North Carolina State University’s College of Design will get into the Halloween spirit by expressing their creativity during the college’s annual pumpkin carving contest at 4:45 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24 at Kamphoefner Courtyard, which is located behind Brooks Hall off Pullen Road on the NC State campus.

The jack-o’-lanterns will be on display at the College of Design following the contest Friday night and again from 9:30 p.m. to 2 a.m. on Saturday during the annual student “Halloween Bash Celebration,” which will be held outside Kamphoefner Hall. The celebration is a showcase of design students’ creatively designed costumes.

The contest is free and open to the public. Media coverage of the pumpkin carving contest or the celebration is invited. Both events are hosted by the student-run NC State University Design Council.
