Author // Georgina Auton, Place Graceville

Most locals know Peter Maniatis as the owner of Superior Fruit.

But at Halloween, Peter also becomes Head Pumpkin Carver.

In late October every year, one to two tonnes of pumpkins arrive at Superior Fruit, ready to be carved for Halloween.

Peter says they always get requests, whether it be people’s names, brand logos or even obscenities - they’re happy to give anything a crack!

They provide the pumpkin-carving service free of charge as a gesture of goodwill to locals each Halloween.

Peter says it’s the one day of the year where kids are allowed to accept lollies from strangers and it’s great to see people out and excited!
