Awesome Pumpkins

I have not done much carving, but I did take my kids to "Night of the living Zoo" once and then my great niece another time. That is the zoo's Halloween experience, or it was at that time. They too had wonderful pumpkins carved by volunteers. It is a terrific, but temporary art form.

Maybe in US pumpkin consider an abundant fruit as I saw in National Geographic where they played game, used this fruit as a bullet to canon and they look for who can shoot that 'bullet' to the furthest distance, they can be a winner. In my country, Malaysia, we enjoy to eat it and it sales price at the mall, currently, for MYR0.76 per kilogram. Presently 1USD = MYR3.36. So MYR0.76 = 0.76/3.36 = 0.23USD per kilogram. But in Malaysia we don't have that big size, about 6 inches in diameter and 5 inches in height. I like it as an appetizer while on having our meal.

i have seen amny cute craving i was at a pumpkin patch last year and they had pumpkins carved with the faces of famous people lol how crazy is that and they were selling for a pretty penny too!

Wow! You have pumpkin nights! My daughter would find that very exciting, especially the scary trail. She loves this sort of thing. I have never carved a pumpkin, as we don't celebrate Halloween. I viewed your photo & commented on this clever carving.

i am not ot good at carving the pumpkins....the kids on the other had they are great at it and so is my husband so i help them clean them out and they carve away.... but those are some awesome carvings i wish i was that good at it...

2,000 pumpkins? That's a lot of time spent carving. When I was little my parents would take me to look at one of my neighbors houses where their entire family carved about 150 pumpkins each year and displayed them all on shelves set up in their front yard. It was really amazing. I have always loved carving my own pumpkins but can only seem to get two or three done each halloween. I use the stencils since they are a lot more creative than anything I could draw personally. I not only carve pumpkins for my house, I also carve some for my moms work. She runs an assisted living service and the residents there love to see all the pumpkins the workers and family members carve. It puts them in the holiday mood.

Oh that was pretty cool looking. I still have to get my pumpkin yet. Im really terrible at carving it too. But hey I always give it a try. When Im done with the poor pumpkin it looks so sad.LOL Oh well!

You have displayed real art craft. I've carved pumpkin before I think we all have at some point, but I could never finalize it with these results that is for sure.

I would of loved to go to pumpkin night, it sounded like a lot of fun. Here is a pitcture I took of our pumpkins last year. We each made one.

Hi grandpa bob, you have awesome pumpkin craft there. I envy you who celebrate pumpkin night. I haven't had any pumpkin night or even see pumpkin that big. Honestly, it was great to see those. How to do that anyway ? Must be really fun.

Friday night the granddaugher and daughter-in-law came over and we got pumpkins....this is our pumpkin. Ali wouldn't put her hands in it though to help clean it...it grossed her out! LOL

Hi Webeishere, We don't have Pumpkin Night, we have the corn Maze and the Haunted House. We have pumpkin carving contests, with anyone being able to enter. These are awesome pumpkins there. Lots of carving involved. These take so much time to create. My boys always liked to carve our pumpkins when they lived at home. Happy posting..
