Kids of all ages painted pumpkins of all sizes Tuesday afternoon during an event at the Charles City Public Library. The library supplied the pumpkins and paints for the children to create their own funny, scary or sometimes simply pretty pumpkin masterpieces.
Pumpkins ranged from large orange orbs that were quickly snatched up by some of the older kids, to tiny varieties in whites, yellows and oranges that nestled nicely in the little tykes’ hands.
Almost 30 kids showed up to take part in the free activity.

Charles City senior center fielder and leadoff hitter Emerson Bohlen was named Iowa Girls Coaches Association Class 4A All-Northeast District Softball Team — the lone Comet to receive the honor.
Bohlen led the Comets in a bevy of categories, including hits (42), runs (31), walks (18), batting average (.442), on-base percentage (.530) and stolen bases (25 out of 28 attempts).
Earlier this month, Bohlen was one of six Comets named to the final All-Northeast Iowa Conference Softball Team. Bohlen was named to the All-NEIC First Team after being an All-NEIC Second Team selection last season.
Bohlen lettered all four years while playing for her father, Comet head coach Brian Bohlen, who reached his 500th coaching win early in the 2024 season with his daughter — then a junior — in the starting lineup.
