This Week @ AU

Students from the College of Architecture, Design and Construction will light up the courtyard of Dudley Hall with more than 400 jack-o'-lanterns at the 20th annual Pumpkin Carve on Friday, Oct. 31. The event, sponsored by the Auburn chapter of American Institute of Architecture Students, will begin at 9 a.m. with the carving of the pumpkins and will last throughout the day. Uncarved pumpkins will be on sale for $4. At noon, hot dogs, hamburgers, chili and drinks will be on sale and the student costume contest will be held. At 6 p.m., the pumpkin carving will end and the pumpkins, many with intricate designs and current event themes, will be lighted. Judging begins at 6:30 p.m. and will be based on creativity, appearance and craftsmanship. Awards will be presented at 7 p.m. The carved pumpkins will be available for purchase for a minimum donation of $5 to the American Institute of Architecture Students. The public is invited to carve from 3-6 p.m. During this time, there will be face painting, cookie decorating, games and other community activities, with the children's costume contest beginning at 6 p.m. A trio from Auburn's music department will provide music throughout the day. A live video stream of all the day's activities will be provided at http://www.cadc.auburn.edu/pumpkincarve/. The Dudley courtyard is located between Dudley Hall and Dudley Commons, which is next to Graves Amphitheater.
