In the 4th year of this annual carving competition hosted by Adam Bierton, three master carvers went head-to-head to create imaginative designs from Wonderland: Curious Nature.

Carver Sarah Blostein carved a spooky Cheshire Cat creation, and she received the highest number of votes from on-site visitors to claim the Top Carver 2024 Title! These carvers return the weekend of October 26 & 27 to carve a giant pumpkin alongside master carver Adam Bierton—so don’t miss Giant Pumpkin Palooza Weekend!
