A ‘spook-tacular’ event at Think Wild in Bend, as children create wildlife-themed pumpkin art

The third annual pumpkin-carving party took place Sunday at Think Wild, the wildlife hospital and conservation center east of Bend. It was another "spook-tacular" event to get everyone set for Halloween. Families brought their own pumpkins, ready to take part in a wildlife-themed pumpkin carving or painting contest. Think Wild provided pumpkin-carving supplies, paints and Halloween candy.
