Interesting Facts

Jack-o'-lanterns originated from an Irish folktale about a man named Stingy Jack, who tricked the devil and was doomed to wander the Earth with only a hollowed-out turnip to light his way.

Pumpkins are native to North America and were first cultivated by Native Americans over 9,000 years ago.

Halloween is celebrated on October 31st and has roots in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.
