Earlier this week, we had three Hershey Bears players carve pumpkins to see how they would do. Madison Bowey, Travis Boyd, and Nathan Walker were our subjects, carving everything from the Bears logo to a scary face. Walker, who’s from Australia, said caving pumpkins is not a normal tradition down under. For a first timer, Walker did pretty well. You can see all the carved squashes below with the whole event being recorded on video.
