Catch the Halloween spirit at the North Mississippi Fish Hatchery
This pumpkin is painted with the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks logo.
A costume contest and pumpkin painting competition will be held at the North Mississippi Fish Hatchery Education Center on today beginning at 2 p.m. The costume contest is open to all costumes, but a special award will be presented for best “Nature Costume.” Pumpkins must reflect an outdoor theme, with a special ribbon going to the best “Fish Pumpkin.” Paint a ghostly catfish, cover your pumpkin in wildflowers, or paint anything else.
