The EverQuest II Community Team set out on an adventure to get into the Halloween Holiday spirit. We gathered around and talked for a bit when an epiphany of sorts came into the collectives minds almost as if it were on queue. We all exclaimed "Let's carve a PUMPKIN!"

Sometimes that's easier said than done however this is the EverQuest II Community Team we're talking about. Everyone knows we can get the job done. After all we did create an incredible sand castle "The Versailles of Southern California"... Eh…Then again Pumpkins are easier than sand castles…RIGHT?

The next thing you know we all headed out to find this magnificent pumpkin that we would carve into our masterpiece. The team stopped in at our local Target to see what was in stock.

We looked around a bit and marked off the check list one by one.
Carving knife – CHECK
Pumpkin scoop – CHECK
Pumpkin – CHECK
Ultimate Pumpkin illumination device (READ: Light) - CHECK
Ultimate Pumpkin illumination device power (READ: AA Batteries) – CHECK

After picking up all the goodies we made a b-line to the check out and off we went to get carving.
