===Objectives===
[[File:PumpkinTotemPole-JZvibleman.jpg|2000px|thumbnail|left|A team of Jack-o-lanterns.pumpkins!]]
Fun, creativity, group identity, decoration, idea generation, collaboration, possibly donations of outcome as outreach to community organizations.
Each team mounts its pole securely (or, the organizers can set up the poles ahead of time).
Optional: wrap the string of lights around the pole tightly (may require duct tape to secure), with the plug end at the top.
Mount the team's pumpkins on the pole, possibly with the largest on the bottom and progressing upward.
Cut a slot in the stemmed cap of the top (smallest) pumpkin, to allow the cord to come out.
Plug the light string into the extension cord. Secure the cord to prevent tripping or other hazards.
