In 2019 I was unable to carve but I did create the t-shirt design you see here!

Another Chadds Ford Great Pumpkin Carve has come and gone. This year marks our 10th and we came away with another wonderful "Most Halloween" win! This year the idea was my mom's with the original design being my own.

2009 Chadds Ford

I had a lot of pumpkin carving experience when the Chadds Ford Carve rolled around. I went with my folk art painting of Death on a Pale Horse as inspiration for this pumpkin. He didn't win a prize that year but was a lot of fun to carve!

Zoe would like me to carve and Ariel pumpkin.

The whole family comes out.

That's my daughter Zoe and my mom.

Even a local witch stops by to check out our pumpkin!
