Today, September 22nd, marks the first day of autumn. Usually, we celebrate the beginning of the season with a Fall Funfest here in Margate. Unfortunately, officials postponed those festivities until September 2021. Don’t lose hope, though. Local officials still planned some fantastic Margate September fall fun events to welcome the change of seasons.
Margate September Fall Fun 2020
Pumpkin Decorating Contest
Did you visit Lucy the Elephant last weekend? Vendors sold pumpkins right there at her feet. If not, go ahead and pick up a pumpkin somewhere else. Decorate it in whatever manner you wish. Once done, take a photo of it and send it to the Margate Business Association via email. Include your name and contact info as well. The top three entries receive a prize. Just make sure you enter before noon on September 26th.
Margate Business Decorating Contest
Hey, Margate business owners. Draw attention to your business while getting into the spirit of the season. Photograph yourself either holding a pumpkin in front of or among the decorations at your business. Then, send it to the Margate Business Association’s email on Saturday, September 26th. One business will be chosen at random to receive a fun prize.
Pet Salon Photos
Want to get your pets involved in the Margate September Fall Fun, too? Visit The Pet Salon on Essex Ave this Saturday, September 26th, Photographer Tom Briglia with PhotoGraphics plans on taking pet photos between 11 am and 3 pm. Some of the photographs taken that day may also end up in the official Margate City Calendar for 2021. A portion of the fee for each photo goes to the Margate Business Association.
Receipts Area All the Rage
Plan on shopping at any Margate business this weekend? It could land you a prize. Whenever you purchase something from a local shop between September 25th and 27th, take a photo of the receipt and send it to the Margate Business Association’s email. Three lucky winners receive a gift certificate from the store on the receipt for future purchases.
The Great Pumpkin Scavenger Hunt
Finally, try your hand at winning a fun prize in the scavenger hunt, yet another way to enjoy Margate September Fall Fun. If you see a little plastic pumpkin outside a Margate business, open it up. If you find a price tag inside, bring the pumpkin and its tag into the store and redeem it for a prize.
