Be sure to vote on your favorite class pumpkins from the students and teachers of Loreauville Elementary while you're there! The students and teachers put a lot of creativity and effort into competing for best pumpkin every year. The contest is held to help raise money for their class and all of the proceeds donated during the event will go directly to the teachers of that class. Every year the contest entries are so good, it's hard to choose just one!
