I think I found Mr. October (the pumpkin carver Vegan7LuvsStitch posted) while watching Halloween Wars on Food Network! Anyone else thinking it's the same guy? (They did say he does pumpkins for Disney, so... I'm almost certain it's him.)
I heard these two guys are pumpkin carving twins. They were champs at the 2011 pumpkinpalooza competition in the twin division. - Mouse4life1085.8 #78 10-8-12 11:23PMLike(2) Reply
***It has to be him, he has a FB: http://tinyurl.com/9mewkwk there are pics of his pumpkins and he talks about the show. - Linzee519.0 #225 10-8-12 11:27PMLike(1) Reply
I even looked for him when we were there on Thursday, but it was a woman doing the carvings then. Drat! LOL. I even had my cool strategy planned for taking the pics of the pumpkins and magically getting him in the shots, too! Next time! Oh. They won't be carving at Thanksgiving, will they? Maybe they need to find another job for him year-round. Hahaha. - meridafan1040.3 #83 10-9-12 9:07AMLike(1) Reply
I really wanna see the rest of his tattoos. Perhaps someone could ask him to take his shirt off for a pic...just a suggestion.😜 - RCmom2595.2 #21 10-25-12 10:51AMLike(1) Reply

Of course.. I just appreciate fine art! Like I said... Just a suggestion. - RCmom 2595.2 #21 10-25-12 12:28PM

Nice detective work, totally looks like him - Linzee519.0 #225 10-8-12 7:32PMLike Reply
Thanks. I had to share since so many people seemed to be a fan. Haha - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 7:35PM
Haha...was going to post this exact same thing last night when watching Halloween Wars. The guy's name is Ray Brown and FoodNetwork did say he does pumpkins for Disney. - Zipper2theRescue239.1 #1127 10-8-12 7:37PMLike Reply
As soon as they said that I was like, this has to be him!! - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 7:43PM
So, did he win? - aidensmama 336.6 #446 10-8-12 7:51PM
He made it to the second episode which airs Sunday. Hopefully he makes it to the end!! - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 7:53PM
I think you are on to something...good find :) - DisLUVney334.1 #454 10-8-12 7:38PMLike Reply
I was thinking they were brothers. The one at Disneyland seemed to look way younger than the one on the show. - Zipper2theRescue 239.1 #1127 10-8-12 7:58PM
Maybe it's because the pic on the right is stretched out, but I'm not seeing it. - Bo22331.1 #469 10-8-12 7:48PMLike Reply
That was the best photo I could take on my TV. And when I googled his name I didn't find any photos of him, just pumpkins and other people. - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 7:54PM
Someone just needs to ask him, what his name is. - sallyg217.2 #1398 10-8-12 7:58PMLike Reply
I believe they said Ray. I already deleted the episode so I don't know for sure what his last name is. - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 8:00PM
Correction, it is Ray Brown. Just found it on the Food Network site. - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 8:01PM
I thin sallyg would like to know of the carver's name at Dland...lol. The one on the show is Ray Brown. - Zipper2theRescue 239.1 #1127 10-8-12 8:01PM
Someone should find him at DL. He wasn't there when I went last week. I looked and sadly it was someone else working. - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 8:02PM
I'm going tomorrow and Friday. I'll try and find out. - MrsSchnooks 609.9 #179 10-8-12 8:09PM
I hope you're able to! - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 8:09PM

Food Network guy is Ray Villafane and he's 43 and world famous - ShariRenee1562.5 #51 10-8-12 8:02PMLike Reply
There's a guy this season named Ray Brown. With such a common name it's hard to find a better picture online since a bunch of other people show up. haha - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 8:05PM
Hopefully someone will find him again at DL and let me know whether it's him or not. He really doesn't look very old on the TV show, so it could still be the same guy. So, who knows! - PiecesOf8373.2 #369 10-8-12 8:07PMLike Reply
He wasn't there this past Sunday. I'll look for him on Saturday when I go. :) - Vegan7LuvsStitch 799.8 #118 10-8-12 10:09PM
I don't know if it's him or not, but he'll do. Hahaha. Nice job! Have to watch that now. Glad I DVR'd it! - meridafan1040.3 #83 10-8-12 8:13PMLike Reply
Let me know if you think it's him when you watch! - PiecesOf8 373.2 #369 10-8-12 11:05PM

*Chimes In* the brow ridge looks different, but it's hard to tell with the different lighting and angles. WHO is going to DL and can see MrOctober's name??? - HandMeAChurroImmaFaint1803.2 #42 10-8-12 11:14PMLike Reply
I was thinking the same thing! The shape of his eyebrows are definitely different. - hd198789 189.4 #1756 10-8-12 11:18PM

Ok, too much mystery.
His name is Ray Brown, and yes it is the same person.
This is not hearsay, this is a fact.
I happen to work with him. - Divermaxey0.0 #75371 10-25-12 10:23AMLike Reply
