Fountain Square

Thanks for the correction! This event should double or quadruple in size next year! I would reccommend including an expert carver as one of the judges next year, someone who knows exactly how much time and effort goes into carving these masterpieces. They would also have a pretty good idea on "originality" as well. As second place finisher, i'll give up the opportunity to win first place next year by being one of your judges. ;)

This was SECOND place finish..please get it right.

Genius of Water (The fountain square carving) took second RUNNER-UP! (A great carving..but not second place..)

I also liked LUKENSTEIN geat job very talented

That's a nice story..he did a superb job!! This was my favorite if not being partial to my own ;). SIZE..as we discovered didn't come in to play and neither did "originality" Many Cannibal Pumpkins have been out there for the past several years and you see a lot of them on the web...and that was one of the "smallest" pumpkins of the whole bunch.. ... Read MoreIt was a great carving but did not fit the judging criteria they posted in the rules. Being an expert carver myself..I recognized immediatly the time and effort that was put into the fountain carving...honestly, it should have gotten better than third place. It was an "original" idea and looked terrific!

it was the SMALLEST AND THE BEST DONT HATE THANKYOU!!!!!!!!

I'm happy that everyone enjoyed this pumpkin and it won first place.That was the first time he craved a pumpkin and it made him very proud to win. Hat's off to all the pumpkin carvers give yourselves a nice pat on the back.See you again next year.

First time carver??!! SUPERB!! And i'm sure if had he known the judging criteria he would have done even better, only how do you get better than "first" place? Good Luck next year! He CERTAINLY should submit a carving next year!
