Halloween Potluck & Pumpkin Contest

Who doesn't love a good potluck? We try to celebrate the more notable holidays here at SEG by gathering more food than you could possibly imagine and stuffing ourselves. Since our employees span a multitude of cultures, it makes for some awesome variety in dishes and desserts.

Last year, I drew a jack-o-lantern face on a tiny pumpkin and placed it on my desk. This served as inspiration for our first miniature pumpkin decorating contest. Most employees embraced the idea and began plotting the designs for their little orange companions, some resorting to intimidation tactics and trash talking, while others took a more silent role. The results were fantastic. The contest was a hit and as soon as October rolled around this year, I was visited by curious engineers ready to get started on pumpkins.

I was thrilled to have actually won this year, against some very worthy competition. Here are some of this year's submissions!
