An Urban Farm Halloween!

Hello Folks!

So today, I thought I'd share a little of MY Halloween escapades....

But first, A REMINDER...I STILL HAVE THE PUMPKIN SPATULA GIVEAWAY! Deadline to sign up for a free, cute HALLOWEEN-Y SPATULA ENDS OCTOBER 28th! SO SIGN UP HERE

Alright--so far, you've read all sorts of fun and informational Halloween posts throughout the month. Today, I thought I'd show you a little of my Halloween celebration!

Some of you may or may not know that when I am not doing art, I have a serious love of nature and farming. In fact one of my maaaaany jobs is as part time farm managers at an urban farm in New York City. This past weekend, I organized our farm's Halloween festival and we were happy to host the community in this fun celebration!

Here are some pics of the day (feel free to click to enlarge):

Yes, I am trying to be a gypsy here....


The whole outfit, complete with old fashioned bucket.....


Believe it or not, we GREW all of these pumpkins on the farm...it's 3 acres, so I guess it worked!


Demetrio, one of the leaders of the farm, in a pirate outfit. Note both the New York Graffiti, and the cow painted "barn." By the way, painting the cow spots: my idea!

One of our volunteers, looking ominous....


Cute kids, everywhere....



And my friend Mimi and her Tribal Dance Troupe, Manhattan Tribal, stole the show!



...and posed pretty, with their drummer Luis...

What a great festival! Hope everyone else has a great Halloween season!
