Six of us who live in Cave Creek decided to swing by and see the Festival has been going on for many years. We actually enjoyed it more than I would have expected. It is obviously geared toward the kids, but there's enough quality carvings as well as 'fun' themes that the adults all smiled.
It was family night, and there were lots of kids also there carving pumpkins while watching the experts do it. All in all I say stop by for a few minutes one evening during the season.
