Tonight we ventured to the Van Cortland Manor in the Hudson Valley to see the Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze. There, we met up with our friends The Schilb's to look at over 5,000 hand carved pumpkins. I'm finding it hard to describe exactly what it is since it is nothing like I have seen before.
The pumpkins were carved and then placed in a way to represent a character as a whole, or an animal or a scene, etc. There was an enormous spider web, snakes, butterflies, ghosts, safari animals, dinosaurs, monsters, a flower garden, bugs and spiders.....I can't even remember what all we saw since there was so much.
Overall it was a great night and a perfect way to spend a warm fall evening.
