Pumpkin Carving Contest- Enter to WIN a $50 Gift Card to Bull & Bones

Sponsored by Erin & Sheila Real Estate Team

October 15, 2019

There are few things that build more excitement in our houses than Halloween. Costume decisions, trick-or-treat plans, pumpkin patch visits and carving designs all seem to occupy our kids’ thoughts throughout the month of October.  We thought this would be a great opportunity to connect with our community and see what our friends and neighbors are creating this Halloween. It’s also a great time to tell those who we have not yet met a little about ourselves!

We are both moms of three, each with two in high school and one in elementary school. We met in Blacksburg several years ago and felt we had something great to offer our area as REALTORS. So we signed up for the real estate class and have built the Erin and Sheila Real Estate Team together from day one! There is so much about this area that we love, from the outdoor adventure opportunities to Virginia Tech everything, to the small towns of the NRV, to the people who live here! And helping those people is what we love the most about our job. Making connections and creating lasting relationships while navigating our clients through their real estate transactions is our ultimate goal!

Now that you know a little more about who WE are, let’s get back to the serious business of pumpkin decorating! Do you know where the Jack O’Lantern tradition came from? It just so happens that it originated in Ireland, and since we are both Irish, we think this is a particularly fun tradition to carry on in our families! Interested in learning more about the first pumpkin carvings? Check this out . And here’s a little teaser - the first carvings weren’t of pumpkins! Who knew?!


To help everyone get a little more excited about this fun holiday, we are offering a little friendly competition by hosting an on-line pumpkin carving/decorating contest.  The winner will receive a $50 gift certificate to Bull & Bones Brewhaus & Grill!
