Organize committees to handle refreshments, ticket sales, decorations, publicity, entertainment, and donations. Try to have food, beverages, decorations, advertising, and invitation and ticket printing donated whenever possible. It may be easier to tie into an already existing event. Pumpkin Carving Contest Have pumpkins donated through a produce shop or farm stand. Have parents supervise their children sculpting pumpkins or have children draw faces on the pumpkins with felt markers or poster paint.
Award prizes for most original, scariest, funniest, etc.
After the contest you may want to keep the pumpkins on display for a few days before Halloween, with lights strung throughout and decorations. The flea market may take place over a period of time. Volunteers would then set up a sales area, advertise the flea market, and staff the booths. Shoppers exchange their cash for coupons, which are used to purchase goods.
