MEXICO – The Mexico Public Library will hold a Pumpkin Coloring Contest during October. Children ages 2 to 12 are eligible to participate.

Any child wishing to enter the contest should stop by the library anytime during October and pick up a coloring contest sheet. Upon completion, children should return the sheets to the library, where they will be displayed on the Kid’s Bulletin Board downstairs.

The completed sheets may be turned in any time during open library hours. The deadline is 5 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28.

Each child who enters the contest will receive a small gift when their pumpkin sheet is turned in. After Oct. 28, the pumpkins will be judged. There will be three categories: ages 2 to 5, ages 6 to 9 and ages 10 to 12. Fun prizes will be awarded to the top pumpkins on Friday, Oct. 29.
