BOISE, Idaho — Patients and families at St. Luke’s in downtown Boise were able to get an early taste of Halloween Thursday as the health system welcomed a professional pumpkin carver from Nampa to create her 3D pumpkin carvings.
Brandy Davis has been professionallycarving pumpkins for 10 years and says she loves to spread Halloween cheer.
“It's such a fun different medium that people don’t get to see all the time,” Davis said. “I think if anybody deserves a smile, it’s these kids.”
Brandy is self-taught and says it can take her anywhere from 4 to 12 hours to finish a pumpkin, but seeing the smiles on kids’ faces makes it worth it.
“Just seeing these kids look at the pumpkin carvings and saying ‘wow, I can do that when I grow up or wow this is possible,’’ Davis said. “I love showing kids that nothing is impossible.”
