FLORENCE — Attendees of Florence First Fridays should be sure to look up during this Friday’s event. Organizers plan to drop a nearly 300 pound pumpkin at the intersection of Court Street and Mobile Plaza at 7 p.m.

A pumpkin decorating contest is also planned. Tastefully decorated pumpkins should be dropped off by 6 p.m. at the First Fridays committee tent near Unraveled on Court Street. Judging will be at 7 p.m.

All entries should have the entrant’s name and phone number with the pumpkin.

The Bear, Cicada Screamers and The Pollies will be performing on the music stage on Mobile Plaza.
