Historic Hudson Valley - Meet the Carvers '08 #10 -- Peggy Diaco

Meet the Carvers '08 #10 -- Peggy Diaco

It's Halloween Eve. What better occasion then, to offer up not one but two Meet the Carver entries. First up, Peggy Diaco.

BB: Tell us something non-pumpkin related about yourself.

PD: I love Blaze so much I drive here from the Pocono mountains in Pennsylvania every year to help.

BB: Now that is dedication. What kind of carvings are you working on for Blaze 2008?
PD: I helped carve dinosaur bones and a variety of faces.

BB: Can you sum up Blaze in three words?
PD: Line...Up...Here!

BB: Good advice. Can you offer a little more advice for the casual carver?
PD: Study the pumpkin carefully before carving a face to see its personality emerge.

BB: What's the best music to listen to while carving?
PD: Tom Hunt singing.

BB: Excellent. Got a pumpkin haiku to share?
PD: Pumpkin nation rise
Light your beauty to the skies
smiling 'til you die

BB: Awesome! So what's your favorite thing about Halloween?
PD: That everything in nature is color coordinated.

BB: Pumpkin pie...a la mode, no a la mode, or no way?
PD: Always a la mode.

BB: If pumpkins could talk, what would they say?
PD: Please don't hurt me!

BB: If you weren't spending October carving pumpkins, what would you be doing?
PD: Seat renewals at Pocono International Raceway.

BB: Thank you, Peggy!

Nascar and pumpkins!!! what a life! Saw Peggy in the BIG tent, she is absolutely fantastic! How anyone can control that crowd and maintain a sense of humor as well as sanity is beyond me.

Peggy and Vern are a great combo and I'll be there next year to see them (and Blaze) again.
