 Guess the TOTAL Weight of all Four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Pumpkins
Ready for a totally radical challenge? The legendary Ninja Turtles have arrived at the Louisville Recreation & Senior Center! We’ve painted 4 pumpkins like Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, and now it’s your turn to channel your inner hero in a half-shell! Instead of fighting crime in New York City, your mission is to guess the combined weight of all 4 pumpkins to the nearest pound—just don’t go over, or you’ll miss out like Shredder at a pizza party in the sewer lair!
Fill out a card and show us your best guess, because, like the Turtles, we know it’s all about precision and teamwork! Will you be the Michelangelo of pumpkin guessing? Cowabunga, dude!
