Carving a pumpkin for a WI wedding...

Any growers in WI can support this task?




I glad you asking the easy stuff... I thought you were
going to ask me where in CALF do they do this as a
business.

I normally scar my pumpkin when the pumpkin is about a
size of a volley ball or a large softball.   You can
use a screw driver and break the surface.  Don't go
down like three inches... just break it ... about 1/4
would be good enough.

How big will this pumpkin be?  
Ask the pumpkin mailing list if anyone who live in
your area would grow a giant pumpkin with your carved
names in it.

I think someone in WI will support you.
