My first post is up on the Dollywood Insiders blog!! I am so excited for the opportunity to share some behind-the-scenes info and pass along info that can make your experience at Dollywood as wonderful as can be!!!
For my first assignment, I was tasked with learning more about the Master Pumpkin Carvers that are showcased in the Dollywood Great Pumpkin LumiNights. Guests at the park get the pleasure of watching the artists turn plain ol’ pumpkins into amazing works of art.
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!
One of the artists from Maniac Pumpkin Carvers was generous enough to share some tips & tricks to getting a great looking carved pumpkin at home. Head over to the Dollywood Insiders Blog to read these tips and more!!
