History Of The Pumpkin Of The Year
The Pumpkin of the Year tradition began in the early 90s, when Jack Pine introduced it as part of his booth at the Circleville Pumpkin Show. Each year, he created a new design just for the season, giving people something to look forward to, talk about, and come back for. It quickly became a tradition collectors followed year after year, building curiosity around what the next release would be. Below, we’re sharing a few past Pumpkin of the Year pieces that helped shape what it is today.
