The Pumpkin Decorating Contest was a high energy, visually engaging branch activity designed to spark creativity, conversation, and member interaction across three in store branches. Team members transformed plastic pumpkins into colorful, themed creations, ranging from detailed character designs to artistic displays featuring props, textures, and hand painted elements.

The pumpkins were prominently displayed in each branch, inviting members to vote for their favorite. In some locations, the creators were known, adding a fun, competitive element. In others, the pumpkins were anonymous, which created even more engagement as members and team members guessed who designed each one. This added a layer of excitement and encouraged ongoing conversations throughout the day.

The variety and quality of the designs made the display a standout attraction, drawing attention from both members and store shoppers. The activity not only showcased team creativity but also increased foot traffic engagement, created memorable experiences, and strengthened connections through shared fun and interaction.
