Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Misty. And I'm going to show you how to get ready for a pumpkin carving party. First, you're going to need your pumpkins. If you are getting your pumpkins ready for your guests, carve out the top. And scoop up the pumpkin seeds. That way you can have treats for your guests. As soon as they arrive and ready to start carving. You're going to roast those, before your guests arrive. Make sure you have a pumpkin for each guest. And enough tools for each guest. If you have children coming, get knives that are children safe. Might also be helpful to buy a couple of pattern books from your craft store. Just in case, they don't know what to carve. Also have some paper around for those who want to do their own patterns. And that's how you get ready for a pumpkin carving party. Remember to always be safe and have a happy Halloween."
