THE SPLASHTACULAR PUMPKIN DECORATING CONTEST

October 24 - October 28, 2021 | $3

Tired of searching those dusty fields for your perfect pumpkin to carve or decorate? We are too! So this year we put a fun spin on the tradition by creating a patch at the Margaret Young Natatorium just for you! 

Stop by the Margaret Young Natatorium to receive a pumpkin and decorating kit during normal operating hours between October 24 through October 28, while supplies last. Decorate your pumpkin, take a photo and submit it to The Splashtacular Pumpkin Decorating Contest by October 29.

Direct message a photo of your decorated pumpkin to our Facebook Page.  The contest will run October 30 - October 31. Pictures of the pumpkins entered will be posted on the Aquatics Center's Facebook page with a number. The public will cast votes in the comment section by leaving a comment with the number of their favorite pumpkin. The most votes wins!

All photos and pumpkin decorations must be kid-friendly. Photos and pumpkin decorations depicting violence, political figures or messages, are religious in nature, or otherwise deemed inappropriate will not be accepted. Staff has the final say on the appropriateness of the photo and the decorated pumpkin. 

LETTERS TO SANTA

 

We know you want to make the holidays an exciting time for your kids, and we are here to help you. The Farmers Branch Aquatics Center has made arrangements with the North Pole elves to accept mail for delivery to Santa. Have your kids write a letter to Santa Claus, and they will get a letter from him in return! Please make sure to include a return address, what they want for Christmas, and something about themselves. You can drop off letters between November 15 - December 11 in the Margaret Young Natatorium.
