The City of Hurricane’s annual pumpkin carving event is a yearly tradition which brings families together in a communal challenge of cutting unique designs into the flesh of pumpkins. This year, the Pumpkin Carving Extravaganza was held at a new location: the Putnam County Bank Sports Complex at Bridge Park. The event featured 500 free pumpkins, plus free carving tools and design templates.
