Hi,
My name is Ray Villafane. I am a sculptor who has won notarity for my pumpkin carvings. Food Network is looking to tape their 3rd Outrageous Pumpkin Challenge this upcoming May. They asked me if I knew where they might be able to find quality pumpkins that can be harvested in May and shipped to the US. They are looking for concrete leads...not just a country or area of the world. Does anybody have and leads that I might be able to forward to them? Please e-mail me at ray@villafanestudios.com

Here is a picture of a recent carving I completed. Happy Halloween.

Sorry I can't help out Ray. We don't have the seasons at the right time of year over here for you.

Just wanted to say 'Hi' and keep up the amazing work you do. I've already seen your work and heard about you. The Predator head that you did was simply amazing! I'm still learning myself but hopefully improving.

Lol, thanks David but my work doesn't come anywhere near what Ray does. You should have a look!
