Creativity on Display Across Root Center

November 2, 2026
Throughout October, teams across Root Center put their creativity to the test as part of our annual pumpkin decorating contest. What started as a little friendly competition quickly turned into a display of imagination, teamwork, and plenty of personality. From familiar characters and seasonal scenes to food-inspired creations, beach themes, spooky setups, and unexpected humor, our clinics found all kinds of ways to transform a simple pumpkin into something completely their own. After a month of creativity and some friendly competition, one team ultimately took home the top spot. And the winner is... Branford! Congratulations to our Branford Clinic, whose creative take on "How Pumpkin Pie Is Made" earned this year's winning title.

This season, Root Center had the opportunity to join two of those organizations - SCADD and InterCommunity - in celebrating their missions, impact, and continued commitment to the people they serve.
