Congratulations to all our winners!
All the entrants to the Whitchurch Arts Creative Pumpkins and Guys Competition were stunning. The members of Whitchurch Arts had a tough task to pick the grand prize winners.
Whitchurch Arts along with local businesses and the Whitchurch Festival donated a load of fabulous prizes – there were enough for everyone to delight in. A special thank you goes out to Julie at the White Hart for her creative shopping talent.
The prizes were given out at the start of the fireworks evening on the Meadow – photos are on the Whitchurch Festival and Whitchurch Meadow websites, and more photos are one theWhitchurchWeb.
Now, without further ado…the winners….

Guy Winners
Conductor Guy Five and His Pumpkin Train - Grand Prize for Guy
The grand prize for the most creative Guy went to Rising Fives – the children at the nursery spent considerable time and creative talent to make a conductor Guy for their train, which had two pumpkin passengers. Their prize is a dinner for two at the Blue Ginger, and a few fun toys for everyone to play with. The crowd at the Meadow let out a large cheer when their Guy was tossed onto the gigantic bonfire – it was consumed in seconds!
