Some of you may know about the yard with the carved pumpkins in it. You know how some people decorate their yards for Christmas. Well, this family has been displaying their carved pumpkins for 25 years. It is best to see their yard at night because they light the pumpkins and other decorations.

You won’t miss seeing their yard just because it is after Halloween. They keep the pumpkin display going until the pumpkins rot.

This is NOT to be missed! It is SO cool!

It is easy to go to their yard:

Take 95th Street to Knox (Knox is just west of the Knox Presbyterian Church).

Turn left on Knox.

Go one block to Carter.

Turn left on Carter.

They are about four houses up on the left side.
