Pumpkins Galore
October 21st 2022
FWCD’s Parent Faculty Association netted approximately $30,000 at its annual Pumpkin Patch Sale and Faux Pumpkin Auction on October 12 and 13. Central Market donated about 550 pumpkins to this year’s patch. The Pumpkin Patch has been a time-honored PFA and FWCD tradition for nearly 15 years and features hundreds of painted pumpkins for sale to the School community. Co-Chairs Janie Skillman and Carley Cagle oversaw the volunteer artists and pumpkin painting. View the Pumpkin Patch slideshow.
The Faux Pumpkin Auction featured 14 different pumpkins by 13 artists, all FWCD art teachers, parents or grandparents. Artists for this year’s auction were Mandy Lofquist (Clumsy Witch), Daniel Blagg (Blue Star), Margery Gossett (Old Lady Who Swallowed a Bat), Julia Gadberry (Fall Flutter and TCU Gameday), Tinker Class (Professor Tinker), Leigh Taylor Bornitz ’95 (Blue Vines in Bloom), Emily Nichols (Confetti Pumpkin), Valorie Flaherty (Creature Feature), Pamela Lancaster (Flowers in the Fall), Cindi Holt (After Matisse), Sue Walker (Simply Sweet), Sue Walker (Fall Splendor), Chelsy Beninate (Feathered Owl) and Dorrine DeChant (Ultimate Fan).
