THE STORY BEHIND THE PUMPKINS

The carved pumpkins you will see at Pumpkinferno are realistic, artificial pumpkins, whose forms have been shaped from molds of real pumpkins. The pumpkins have been designed and carved by a talented group of young artists from the Eastern Ontario region. These designers and carvers were selected based on their penchant for design, whether in his/her field of study or as a personal hobby. They embarked at the start of the summer on this monumental project, and have worked through September, designing, carving, and constructing the amazing array of pumpkin-carved installations you will discover on your tour.
