Chloe Luescher from Charles Upson and Nick Cafora from George Southard are the grand prize winners of the 2014 Third-Grade Pumpkin Decorating Contest, Lockport Main Street Inc. announced this morning.

More than 400 third grade students from the Lockport City School District, Newfane Elementary School and DeSales Catholic School decorated pumpkins this past Halloween. The winning pumpkins were selected after the community voted for their favorites at participating downtown Lockport businesses, where the pumpkins were on display.

As the grand prize winners, Chloe and Nick each received brand new bicycles and helmets, generously donated by the Niagara County Sheriff Jim Voutour. In addition, every third-grade class received a free pizza party courtesy of Papa Leo’s in Lockport, for participating in the contest. Pumpkins were generously donated by Niagara Produce of Lockport, and the contest was sponsored by Key Bank.
