Dolly Parton doesn’t do things halfway and neither does Dollywood. They’ve brought in the carvers of Maniac Pumpkin Carvers to share their expertise. Their creations have been displayed in places like The Museum of Modern Art and they’ve made appearances on Good Morning America & The Chew among many others. They were also winners on the Food Network competition show, Halloween Wars.

I could have stood at the stand and watched them work all day. The artistry and level of detail is awe-inspiring!
