#evenguiest

Evenguist is celebrated slightly differently in every Pumpkin beetle town I've visited. For some, the food is the main highlight, for others it's there farming skills and once I even saw a town near a river race each other down its rapids. However, no matter where you go one thing will be constant and that is that pumpkins will be what all of the celebration is themed around. The food dishes will be made from pumpkins or look like them, the farming skills are all about who can grow the largest pumpkin and even the river racing town was doing there rapid riding in large, carved out pumpkins. Evenguist is truly a day to celebrate the mighty gourd.

More information can be found in the Animalia Alamanc.

There are many different subspecies that belong to the pumpkin beetle group, but the Hilaris are probably the most well known within it. This is because during Evenguiest they will carve pumpkins to be the same patterns as there wing patterns making the connection between the decorations and the Coleoptera strong. If you see a pumpkin with the 4 segments carved out in your neighborhood then it is likely a Hilaris lives there.
