This Thursday thru Saturday, Rockford's biggest pumpkin, "Miss Impressive" will be carved LIVE at Eerie Autumn Lights! Local Master Carver, Lincoln Bias will be heading up the team along with Carli Ihde and Alan Silva. All three of them were contestants on Season 3 of Food Network's Outrageous Pumpkins. Below are some brief bios on each carver:
Lincoln Bias, from Rockford, IL, has been in the pumpkin carving business for the last 7 years. He is a master Kae-Sa-Luk, an ancient Thai practice where fruits and vegetables are converted into elaborate works of art. www.facebook.com/lincoln.bias/
Carli Ihde, from Appleton, WI, is a professional tattoo artist and animator. She started carving pumpkins about 12 years ago. She is currently on the Food Network’s Season 5 the All Stars show!
Alan Silva, from Joshua Tree, CA is a freelance designer and has been carving pumpkins for the last 11 years. He is an expert in using power tools which he uses to create 3D designs as opposed to the traditional jack-o-lanterns.
Be sure to come and see the biggest pumpkin you've ever seen transform into a work of art at the hands of these talented artists...we are so excited to have them here October 17th - 19th during Eerie Autumn Lights!
