  • Pumpkin House '08 - in progress

     

     

    Took a little extra time at lunch yesterday and drove over to Kenova to check on the progress of Ric Griffith's pumpkin house.

    I talked to the guy on the right for a while, and he said they started early Saturday morning and had about 1/3 of the pumpkins up. Plans are to finish up on Thursday afternoon so it can be on display over the Halloween weekend.

    Theyre trying to beat last years record of 3071.

    Each pumpkin is intricately hand carved and wired for lights.

    The ones on this 16' X 16' wall of shelves will be lighted and synchronized to classical music!

    This, when it's finished,  is something that you really should see if you're anywhere near the Tri-State area on Halloween!

    Ric Griffith also has an equally impressive 50's style sodashop and pharmacy. The link is here.
