Nestled in one of those many out of the way corners of Rhy'Din lays the Wise Tree Gardens run by feisty little half-dryad Sloane Greentree. The somewhat (rather) reclusive gardener had a....small....mishap in her pumpkin patch resulting in a plentiful bunch of mammoth orange gourds!

Since there was only so much one could do with giant vegetables, Ms. Greentree decided to donate the lot (as well as some more reasonably sized pumpkins) for a very special event!
From Sunday October 22nd through the 26th, a section of the Southern Glen will be dedicated to all things pumpkin!

But what about those big mamma jammas that kicked this all off" Oh, well, there is something great in store for those.
Pumpkin Boat Race—Thursday October 26th
Oh yes, folks! You'll have the opportunity to carve out your very own lake-worthy vessel! Thursday morning they will be launched so the lovely people of Rhy'Din can see who makes the best Captain Jack O'lantern!

Costumes not required, but we heard they make you float better! One lap across the lake and back, the first one to return—or the last to sink—wins! What do you win? Bragging rights of course!
Some simple ground rules though: No magic, and for the race, no motors! All manual power for this.
So come on out, one day or all, and make sure to make it out to cheer on your favorite boat! All are welcome, young or old, but especially those who need to feel young at heart.
—Obligatory OOC—
This is a board/vapored event, including the race. Feel free to post visits, polyvores, pumpkins (decorated, boats), etc here! Boat race "winners" will be determined by random chance.
Have fun with it!
