Season 2 of Outrageous Pumpkins was filmed in Virginia, as the Journal-News reported in a profile of Season 2 contestant William Wilson.
Like Christine, William doesn’t count pumpkin-carving as his full-time job. By day, the Ohio resident is the owner and general manager of a full-service cleaning and restoration company.
“This is just something I got good at, and I was able to compete on a TV show,” he said of his side gig as a pumpkin carver. “Every year it seems like I was getting better and better, so I knew the opportunity would come soon.”
William got his start in pumpkin-carving after a friend encouraged him to enter a competition at the Columbus Zoo. Then he got involved with the carvers at the Operation Pumpkin festival in Hamilton, Ohio. “It started out with me just sweeping up as they were carving the big pumpkins, and helping them move the big pumpkins,” he said. “And I just got my opportunity.”
Eventually, William opted to streamline his life, devoting his time to family, work, and carving, as the Journal-News reported. “I can do 100 things decent, or I can do two or three things great, and that’s what I’m going to focus on, the three things I do great,” he told the newspaper.
Outrageous Pumpkins Season 2 airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on Food Network.
