PUMPKIN CARVING 
A very talented artist Zachary Flavelle will be joining us for the first time this year to demonstrate his unique and creative skills. You can watch him carve pumpkins on Saturday and view his creations al weekend long outside the Bruce Power Weigh-Off Arena at the festival. Thanks to our sponsor CANDU for helping to bring Zachary to the event. We can't wait to see what he creates with Pumpkinfest in mind!
Check out some of his work HERE.
Zachary Flavelle. Pumpkin Carver.
I've been carving pumpkins since the ripe old age of three, making squares and triangles in the vague visage of a face. When I was twelve I discovered a love for carving images that actually resembled something, and the joy I felt when people would trick-or-treat to our house and see the rows of carved images glowing up our steps. In university I realized that I could push myself further by creating photo-realistic images of friends, celebrities, comic book heroes... Anything I wanted! Each time I sit down to create a new work I learn something new about the craft and about my patience.
I have created customized designs for outdoor festivals, farmer's markets, fundraisers, weddings, parties, restaurants, dances, and family events. I've partnered with wonderful organizations, including Pumpkins After Dark, Sandbanks Provincial Park, Santa's Village, Storm Crow Manor, and the Royal Ontario Museum. My carvings have seen in Hallowe'en advertising campaigns, including Honda, St. Louis Bar & Grill, and McCains. I've won a number of carving contests and have even had my carvings featured on TSN's Sports Centre, CP24 Breakfast, The Good Stuff with Mary Berg (CTV), and The Morning Show (Global).
