Fred Dobbs and I had the pleasure of carving two truly Giant Pumpkins during the exhibition sized at 867lbs and 1,137lbs. I carved the 1,137lb pumpkin into a haunted house scene over a 5 day period and Fred carved the 867lb giant into trick and treaters being followed by ghosts and on their way to the haunted house.
