One House, 40 Hand-Carved Pumpkins: Port Elgin's Halloween Masterpiece

If you drove past a certain Port Elgin home this Halloween, you might've done a double-take. A local resident created a full pumpkin patch display right in their yard—and it wasn't your average October decoration. The patch featured **40 individually hand-carved pumpkins**, each one unique and glowing in the dark. That's a lot of scooping, carving, and creative spark. It's the kind of display that makes you wonder: How many pumpkins did they go through before picking *these* 40? How many hours with a carving knife? And most importantly—how do you even *fit* a pumpkin patch in a residential yard? Port Elgin's Halloween spirit was real this year, and this decorator proved that when it comes to fall festivities, sometimes more *is* better. Did you see it?
