It’s the first annual Dori Monson Show Pumpkin Carving Contest!

Express your feelings about Seattle by carving an image that best represents the Emerald City. If it makes you think of the Puget Sound, then put it on the pumpkin. Dori wants to see pumpkins showing what Seattle is all about.

Post a photo of your Pacific Northwest jack-o-lantern to the Dori Monson Facebook page, or email it to the show by noon on Halloween.

The most creative jack-o-lantern will receive a prize that is yet to be determined, but will, rest assured, be fabulous.

The sky is the limit, though inappropriate images will not be shared on the Dori Monson Show blog and might be removed from the Facebook page.
