Before you can officially say hello to Halloween, there's one crucial task you must complete: carving a jack-o-lantern. You don't have to venture out to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect gourd. Stew Leonard's, a Farmingdale farm and dairy store, boasts pumpkins just plucked from the field. During the Pumpkin Carving at Stew Leonard's in Farmingdale on October 21st, you'll also get some inspiration.

Lenny Calvin is coming to the store from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to work his pumpkin-carving magic. You may recognize him from season six of the Food Network's Halloween Wars, where he got to show off his skills on a national stage. At Stew Leonard's, he'll enchant guests as he creates masterpieces using store pumpkins, X-Acto knives, and clay tools. Pick out your own pumpkin for carving while you watch him work.
