THE THREE WINNERS of this year’s Peninsula Daily News Pumpkin-Carving Contest have been chosen, picked by our online voters — and all three are monstrously spectacular:

First Prize — “The Raven,” by Karen Abbott of Port Angeles.

Second Prize — “Joker-Heath Ledger,” by A.J. Teel of Port Angeles.

Third Prize — “Peanut,” by Jeffrey Bell of Port Angeles.

CONGRATULATIONS to the winners!

We’ll be contacting you next week about your gifts from our contest’s sponsors (our prizemeister, Sue Stoneman, had to go away on some family business. She’ll be back Nov. 14.)

Thank you to all who participated in this contest, and we can’t wait to see your mad scientist skills in action next time around!

We loved all your pumpkins, but there had to be only three winners. Next year it may be you!

Be sure to check out all 25 of this year’s creepy, incredible and creative pumpkins at http://pdn.upickem.net/engine/Welcome.aspx?contestid=72750 (click on “View Entries”).
