2nd Annual Suzie Q's Great Pumpkin Carving Competition

Carve, drink & compete! Join Suzie Q's Pumpkin Carving Contest Oct 20! It's our Second Annual Pumpkin Carving Competition, and the Navy Yard tradition is officially on! Every team member gets 1 Drink Ticket just for entering (6 PERSON LIMIT PER TEAM), plus 🍺 $5 Pumpkin Beers and Halloween themed shots all night long. Here's how it works: 5 minutes to brainstorm your concept, sketch your design, and pick the carving order. Once carving starts, the active carver must switch every 10 minutes. Everyone must carve before anyone goes again. You'll carve for 1.5 hours total, with a 20 minute halftime to grab food, drinks, and check out other teams. Hosted by Tommy, with tunes, laughter, pumpkin guts, and plenty of fall cheer. Judging & Prizes When time's up, our judges take over! We will have 3 Special Guest Judges.
