Who Are We?

We started as three neighborhood dads—Gary Peterson, Steve Leensvaart and Luke Harrington—carving pumpkins together in 2015.

Over the years, family, friends and other members of the community have joined us, and what started as a few guys carving pumpkins has grown into a pretty fun neighborhood tradition. We’ve had the chance to be featured on KARE 11, Fox News, WCCO and KTSP several times over the years, but our favorite part has always been bringing people together and doing something good for our community.

Each year, we raise money for the St. Louis Park STEP Program, which provides food, clothing and other assistance to people in our community who need a little extra help.

What started as a few pumpkins in the driveway has truly turned into a wonderful little celebration, and we hope you’ll come join us!
