I've been saving these pictures I took at the New York Sheep & Wool Festival to share with you today. These jack-o-lanterns were in the booth of Hugh McMahon, master pumpkin carver. I didn't get to see much of the festival, but I was glad I didn't miss meeting Hugh and seeing him at work (this is why I love sheep festivals, where else would you find such a spectacular flock of lamb-o-lanterns?).
Enjoy.
A Merin-o-lantern.
A Cormo-lantern?
I think this one might be a Leicester-Lantern.
There were even a couple llama-o-lanterns. (Crackerjack and Caitlyn are so pleased).
Happy Halloween from me & the flock!
Next year, would you please dress a few sheep in costumes? they already wear coats. It would be awesome. An XXL dog costume from Target might work. :D

And Happy Halloween to you - I hope you and the flock had a good one. It was light on trick-or-treaters this evening and the worse "trick" was a "threat" of him singing if he didn't get a treat.
These pumpkins are unbelievable - what talent and skill in carving. I have got to make it to Rhinebeck one year. thanks for sharing - Torre

Happy Halloween Barb! I love these pumpkins! My favorite is the ram with the horns.

Thanks for sharing these amazing lamb/llam-o-lanterns! Next year your flock will be wanting you to carve ones like that for them, if they see these ones.

Jeez Louise, these are GREAT pumpkins! Ober here in Philly, there was a lot of Phillies "P" carving.
So looking forward to the spring and CSA starting!
