Pumpkin Blaze

Seeing as Halloween is one of my all time favorite holidays, and fall being my favorite season, i figured I would share with you one of my yearly traditions. If you are a fan of carving pumpkins and decorating for Halloween, then you should definitely check out what im about to tell you about. For the last couple of years my family and i take a little road trip up to Sleepy Hollow NY, yes the town where the legend of the Headless Horseman originated, to attend the annual Pumpkin Blaze. Picture a multi-acre farm, filled with thousands and thousands of professionally carved pumpkins. Im not just talking about silly or spooky faces, im talking about life sized themed carvings sometimes comprising of multiple pumpkins per piece. You walk through the displays, at night of course and can take pictures and videos of the lit up pumpkins; it truly is something you all should go and see for yourself. My favorite piece, being a fan of medieval times and folklore, is a life-sized dragon. This piece is made up of about twenty to thirty pumpkins all carved together to create the masterpiece.  Like i said the event is held every year however tickets sell out very quickly so if you are interested in going next year, do some research and book reserve your tickets as soon as possible.
