The first entry for the GPP 2018 season. This used to be a farmers market and now it sits abandoned.

2nd entry for the GPP was in Farmington NM. I was on a work trip and took along a pumpkin. This setting was an art show that had opened on Oct 5th and would be open on the weekends for Oct only. I thought it was perfect.

The 3rd entry for the GPP is this very old church that has been several different things over the past years. It has always caught my eye and I thought it would be a good placement. the pictures are horrible and next year I need to step up my game.

Participating in Adam's The Great Pumpkin Project has been such a cool experience. Our second pumpkin placed at the beginning of a trail was still there one week later and a sweet little gift was left inside the pumpkin. This is what The Great Pumpkin Project is all about. Spreading the joy of the season. Thank you to the person who took the time to place this inside the pumpkin and thanks to Adam for coming up with and sharing his cool project.

The Great Pumpkin Project: Jack O'Lanterns left anonymously in lonely places, near abandoned buildings, alongside roads... anywhere that'll give the passerby a burst of Halloween, and some questions.

31 pumpkins. 31 locations. 31 garbage bags of pumpkin guts. When I started this project I didn't honestly think it would become what it has. I didn't think it would spread as far as it did. I never expected the amazing contributions people have made.
With the last jack, went back to the location that inspired the whole thing. Last year I placed a single jack on this same doorstep, because I felt it needed it. It brought me such great joy to see it lit in the night. I was left thinking that I wish it wasn't me who put it there and wish I had stumbled upon it. So with that feeling, the project was born.
People who love this holiday are extremely passionate about it, and this project proves it. From within the state of NJ, to across the pond, people's love for this great holiday shown in spades, with all the pictures and kind words.
I can't thank you all enough for participating. Thanks a million to the Mike and Dave for making drops while I was away. Thanks to Rot and Bean for promoting the hell outta this and keeping me goin. Thank you everyone on the blog, and your kind and encouraging comments.
This is now tradition. Hopefully it will grow every year.
In an age of trunk or treat, and glitter decorations, this project was made to help preserve the old ways of Halloween, to go back to its roots. If these jacks have put a feeling of nostalgia and the old ways Halloween into the people who have seen them, then it was a success.
Thank You All So Much!
Till Next Year. Hail The Harvest.
