FAQ
How do I keep my Packers pumpkin fresh through game day?
Refrigerate when not displayed, apply petroleum jelly to cut edges, and use a bleach water spray to slow molding.
Can I carve a pumpkin with my kids while wearing team gear?
Yes, choose simple shapes, supervise tool use, and let kids handle painting or sticker placement for safety.
What if I mess up the logo sketch on the pumpkin?
Cover the area with a sticker or patch, or adjust the design into a helmet or mascot theme to hide the mistake.
