Theme:
Go for the Orange (Patriotic themes)
The Pumpkin Walk theme for this year was "Go for the Orange", taken from "Go for the Gold", since the 2002 winter Olympics was being hosted in Salt Lake City. I knew immediately that my booth was going to be on "I Love America". After the events of September 11th, this made the patriotic pumpkin theme even more powerful and heartfelt to all who viewed my display. I was in Nashville Tennessee during this time of year, and so I created the patterns, but the pumpkins were carved by my good friend, Loy Moser.
