Five Points jack-o'-lante By KATHY LEWIS Staff writer Would-be jack-o'-lantern artists will be carving away at Goatfeathers Halloween night in the bar's third annual pumpkin competition. Three years ago, the Five Points bar had its first Halloween pumpkin competition because the owner "wanted to see all the pumpkins." "We usually see good competition," bar owner Jeff Helsley said. Professional artists and students like to compete, he said. This year, $500 in prizes will be awarded to "lin thp rnmnpti. tion," said Helsley. Contestants must bring their pumpkins to Goatfeathers between 1 and 6 p.m. on the 31st. Only one pumpkin per person is allowed. Contestants may use only pumpkin materials in their creations, employee Yvette Connolly said. Candles, not flashlights, must be used to light the pumpkins. "You can't use anything artificial," Connolly said. First prize is $250, second prize is $125 and third prize is $75.
