Matt Derby created “Deception,” one of the many giant pumpkins carved by local artists that were on display at the 10th annual festival presented by the Hopewell Valley Arts Council. The event, held October 9-13 in Woolsey Park, Hopewell Township, also featured live music, fire pits with storytelling, games, pumpkin painting, and more.
