Thus far, Adam has sold a butt load (that’s in metric measurements) of pumpkins to businesses all around the Ogden area. He loves it.

This one below was sold to the cupcake shop, Sugar & Spice located on Historic 25th Street in Ogden. Adam carved a star in the back so it’d shine a light star behind it.

This one below is clearly for Grounds for Coffee, the one on Historic 25th street.

La Ferrovia was a difficult one. He spent bunches of time on it and sold it for a higher price. The restaurant didn’t put it in the fridge at night so it got moldy and shriveled, to everyone’s udder disappointment, I must say.

Ligori’s Pizza on Harrison in Ogden, was where this one went. That’s the Leaning Tower of Pisa, if you didn’t catch it. this was another super difficult one, because of the repetition of the pattern.

He actually carved this one in the bar/restaurant of Wing Nutz last Saturday. It was way cool. I stopped by towards the end, and everyone seemed to be enjoying it. Someone even came by and asked us about it and took Adam’s pictures to his family to show them off. Adam’s head got all super gigantic after that, but it was deserved.

Here are some other ones he’s done this year, just for funsies:

As I write this Adam is carving a pumpkin into the Death Star. Pretty big project for someone who has the flu, but he cannot be stopped. He loves it, and is mighty good at it. I’ll post the Death Star pics when he’s done.
