Like it or not, fall is here, (pretty much, let's not get technical about it, okay?). We all know what that means -- hot apple cider, digging out your sweaters from the back of the closet, and people going on and on about how much they love pumpkin spice lattes.
When we carve pumpkins, we generally use a knife, but they must do things a little differently in the South. For example, Tennessee resident and YouTuber Hickok45 carves his pumpkin with a Colt 1911 handgun. Why, you may ask? Because using anything else would just be plain silly.
Hurricane Irene flooded dozens of pumpkin patches this year, leading to what many say will be an unprecedented shortage — and price increase — for those wanting to carve traditional Halloween Jack O’ Lanterns.
That said, even a hurricane won’t stop the super-creative types who work their magic to create stylish artwork on pumpkins every year.
