Ladies and Gentleman and Others!
The Great Pumpkinhead for 2007 has been chosen!
Crickie and I held the 3rd Annual Pumpkin Carve Off recently, and we invited you, our devoted readers to vote on the best pumpkin carvings.
A bit of history before we get into the results this year: Crickie won the first year competition, and I managed a win the second time around. As a result, there was a lot of pressure this year on both of us as we were determined to break the tie.
You, our readers came out in great numbers. We had a fantastic turn out at the voting booths. For that, a big thank you!
The votes came in fast and furious and the results were checked and double checked by both of us. This was the first time that we held the voting in two places - my first time here on The Scott English Show.
And…
We tallied up the results thusly:
Kiss Pumpkins: 11 votes
Leatherface Pumpkins: 11 votes
Ladies and Gentlemen and Others, for the first time in the history of the Annual Pumpkin Carve Off we resulted in a tie! While this momentarily bewildered us - we hadn’t thought that far ahead, and some friendly bickering back and forth, we have both been crowned The Great Pumpkinhead for 2007!!
Here is a picture of me taking a picture of myself having accepted my award:

And now the reveal…
The KISS pumpkins were carved by Crickie:

The Leatherface pumpkin was carved by moi:

Thank you to everyone that voted this year! We both hope to see you again next year!
All pumpkins are very cool! I’ll mark my calendar to vote next year.
Great Pumpkins… We are good to even get the top out and guts removed. Yes, we are lame hahaha.
Chickie: Please do, the more voters the merrier!
Megan & Kitty Cats:Thank you! Mmmm… the guts (well actually the seeds from the guts make great spicy pumpkin seeds).
I was so torn about how to vote. I thought perhaps the leatherface was yours, Scott, but the kiss ones showed lots of imagination, too. Anyhow, they were both great, can’t wait to see next year’s entries.
Mom: Yes, the Kiss pumpkins were very imaginative. I was very impressed when I saw them. I am looking forward to seeing how next year’s pumpkin carvings shape up as well.
