Picture of greg

The results from last week’s jack-o’-lantern poll are in, and the voting was oh-so-close.

“Ghost” won the vote from our blog readers by a super-slim margin, but when you add the votes from our front door display, the overall winner is ….

“Braces”!
braces

Honorable mentions also go to “Sad Panda” and “Death Star.”

So congratulations to Renaud for carving the winning jack-o’-lantern! You win a year’s supply of cooked pumpkin! Why cooked pumpkin, you ask?

A note to any of you planning to do this on your own some time. Don’t leave the lights in the pumpkins for too long. Otherwise they wind up looking like this!

For those who celebrated, we hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween.

-Greg

    When you add in the votes from the voting from our front-door installation, “Braces” gets the nod.

    I hear that cutting “chimneys” AKA holes in the lid of the jack-o-lanterns prevents that problem.
